Top pick: #1 (TAKEM BY SURPRISE) (9-5) - One-run type ships from Santa Anita in shape and with Bejarano aboard. This 4-year-old has gone 4-0-2-2 since early April with all of those efforts coming at this level. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Rainsford) (4-1) - NEW gelding has been freshened up since May 30. He's dropping in class in his first off a Dean Peterson claim and 3-year-old has enough speed to be in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Cut to Run) (15-1) - Longshot is working fast here for his first since April 30. Fits with his best and has been competitive at Los Alamitos in the past.
4th pick: #8 (Domingo Cat) (7-2) - Speedy and lightly raced. he set a quick and pressured pace before weakening June 20 to finish 5-lengths behind 'Takem By Surprise.' His outside post is a plus and he's a threat on the front end.
