Top pick: #8 (WARREN'S BUGLER) (3-1) - He ships in from Pimlico where he's been competitive in all three starts since arriving from the West Coast during the spring. Cal-bred gelding rallied to finish second going two-turns at this tag on June 8, and the cut-back to seven furlongs shouldn't be an issue.
2nd pick: #4 (Mystified) (7-2) - He's shown good early speed in both starts facing tougher, and will be dropping down for a $25K tag to race for $10000. Spotted to win by "Lupe" Guerrero, and the trainer is having an outstanding year (108-32-20-16). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Cat n West) (5-2) - Lightly raced Pa-bred went very wide while finishing fourth of seven, beaten just under five lengths racing here at this tag on June 11. It was a positive effort, and 3yo draws a nice outside post at this seven furlong distance.
4th pick: #7 (Imaginaryweekend.) - He runs third back off an eight month layoff, and has raced evenly in his return pair here despite being a bit "keyed up" before the start of both. 4yo has been freshened up since May 18, and had a near bullet five furlong breeze on June 16. In the mix.
