Top pick: #4 (LUCKY LOGAN) (7-2) - Gelding is taking a huge drop in class while switching from turf to dirt. 3yo had a bullet half-mile breeze from the gate July 4 at San Luis Rey Downs and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Coach John) (3-1) - He's been competitive in three of five starts, all on the dirt, at or around this level. 3yo has a flexible style and finished 3rd here at this level July 2. Obvious threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Relative Time) (5-2) - He's taking the same drop as 'Lucky Logan' and is also moving from grass to dirt. Even paced type is racing second back off a 2 1/2 month break and is a contender.
4th pick: #2 (Zirondelle) (20-1) - Not a win candidate, but he's the best of the rest of those that have started. May round out the tri and/or triple at a big price.
