Top pick: #8 (ARMSTRONG ONE) - California transplant didn't appear to like poly surfaces as his four lifetime wins have all come on real dirt at Golden Gate or on the Fair circuit in that state. He chased the pace and weakened late on June 15 in his first on this surface and looks set today for a top try.
2nd pick: #1 (Squire Darlin) - Wide in his latest racing for $7500 in his first off an Andrea Gozalez claim. Moves to the rail, drops to $5000, and gets the addition of blinkers. The main danger.
3rd pick: #5 (Sandy's Gold) - Had an unsuccessful trip to Delaware on June 28 as he had severe traffic troubles during the running. Returns on short notice (eight days) and his previous race here puts him in this.
