Top pick: #5 (COWTOWNMARY) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he pressed a quick pace before weakening to finish second June 12 at Santa Anita. It was his first since early May of 2014 and 4-year-old has worked well since. Strictly the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Warren My Boy) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt drops in class after an even effort for twice this tag at Santa Anita June 14. It was his first since running second in his debut two months earlier and he's making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Our Trooper) (12-1) - Longshot is a one-paced type and is racing off almost a two month break. Has the rail and his best back figures could get him a slice at a big price if repeatable.
4th pick: #9 (Nevada City) (6-1) - Bet down to 2-1 in both starts here, he's finished third in each facing much weaker. Believe that a minor award is his ceiling if he can avoid a wide trip.
