Top pick: #3 (MAHALO ARTURO) (2-1) - Colt has excellent early speed, is racing third back from a long layoff, and is dropping back down to a price he just missed at two back. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Rons Boy) (5-2) - He's been competitive in all five starts and last out at Del mar finished a pace-setting second at this level. He's fine on real dirt and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Shop Forever) (12-1) - Gelding continuers to race evenly and is moving back to conventional dirt after a pair of starts on the Del mar "poly." may grab a share at a nice price.
4th pick: #7 (Slick Caper) (10-1) - Colt finished second here at this level on July 4th at odds of 48-1. He showed little at Del mar in his latest and the move back here could land him a minor award.
