Top pick: #5 (NOIFSWHATSORBUTS) (5-2) - He races first off a Mike Pino claim (a strong 29% winning angle). Gelding has been freshened up for six weeks, drops under the purchase price, and has a pair of decent works showing for this attempt. 4-year-old has never raced this low and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Green Team) (3-1) - Speed/stalker enters in career best form and will be seeking his third in a row. Both wins have come fresh off a Keith Lebarron claim and Cal.-bred draws the rail. Contends again today.
3rd pick: #2 (Whistle Included) (4-1) - Gelding rallied to finish second at this level on May 7th, then raced evenly just seven days later. He needs to do a bit better in the late stages for any shot at the win.
