Top pick: #7 (J AND S EXPRESS) (9-5) - Very consistent veteran has never won locally, but has a fine overall record (9-0-3-4). He finished a close up third last out racing against slightly tougher. Drops a bit, has a fine post for this trip, and he's meeting a weak field.
2nd pick: #5 (Adellusion) (5-2) - Strong contender rallied from far back to finish a "head" back of 'J and S Express' last out. The additional 1/16th he travels today is in his favor.
3rd pick: #6 (Zees Chris) (7-2) - Unraced since late May, he's training fast at Los Alamitos, and has fine early speed if ready. There's little other visible pace and that makes him a win threat if in shape.
4th pick: #3 (Toomanytomatoes) (3-1) - Golden Gate shipper is from a good barn (Ed Moger, Jr.) and fits if able to bring his turf & 'poly' form with him.
