Top pick: #7 (GOOD SAMURAI) (7-2) - Lightly-raced, he runs first off a Mike Mitchell claim (a 26% winning angle) and a subsequent 5 1/2 month layoff. Training nicely and he meets a weak field for this $30K tag.
2nd pick: #5 (Chattering Class) (4-1) - Speedy gelding runs for the first time since Jan 1st and has a new trainer (Pete Miller 18% with new arrivals). Working well at San Luis Rey Downs and 3-year-old is capable of some fast fractions. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Summer Sea) (7-2) - Colt hasn't raced since just missing when debuting at Hollywood park in late May. He's been working fast down at Los Alamitos and is in the small win mix.
4th pick: #8 (Geldautomat) (6-1) - Gelding ships back from Golden gate Fields where he ran poorly at this tag on March 1st. Back on real dirt, he has some efforts in his past that make him a threat if repeatable.
