Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (CHAMP PEGASUS) - Lightly raced 5yo raced evenly last out at Del Mar in the Del Mar Mile(G2) in his first start since late March when he raced in the middle-east. Likes this surface(4-2-2-0) and probably needed that last race. He's the defending champ in this G2 and is set for a bif effort.

2nd pick: #7 (Acclamation) - Always the main speed whenever he runs, 5yo by "Unusual Heat" was scratched out of yesterday's Goodwood S.(G1) on the main track to await this more suitable turf spot. He's won 4 in a row and would be no surprise, though he is 0 for 4 on this course.

3rd pick: #2 (Impontente Purse) - In career best form at present he won the G3 Sunset H. at Del Mar on July 17th. then was beaten a neck there in the Del Mar H.(G2) last out. Working fast for this and a threat if he holds his form.
