Top pick: #1 (MISDEED) (3-1) - Strong finisher has rallied to finish third here in both starts since dropping down into claimers. Working fast for this, 4yo gelding by "Rock Hard Ten" draws the rail, and can win this if he avoids traffic.
2nd pick: #7 (Hold Everything) (5-2) - Speedy gelding tired badly on the dirt facing special weights on May 2. It was his first start in four months, and he's been working fast since. The Baffert barn drops him into a claimer and has him trying the grass, both for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Oso Smart) (9-2) - He ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he tired facing special weights on the grass May 17. He's yet to finish better than third in any of his nine starts, so a small slice may be his ceiling.
4th pick: #2 (Uncharted Course) (6-1) - He's from the same barn (Rick Mandella) as "Misdeed" and is racing for the first time since late August. Drops, goes "poly" to grass, and will run with lasix administered for the first time. Don't just ignore.
