Top pick: #5 (JULIET'S TIZZY) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bob Diodoro, and the pair race uncoupled. This gelding by "Tiznow" makes his local debut after going 11-0-1-1 facing much tougher on the So. California circuit. Trainer Bob Diodoro drops him way down, and this 3yo only looks to have one strong rival.
2nd pick: #2 (Talking Mambo) (4-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, he's been freshened up since tiring in a pair of longer races on the Canterbury turf facing tougher. Working well for this, and 3yo is from a high percentage barn (Mike Chambers).
3rd pick: #3 (Majestway) (6-1) - Long time maiden makes his local debut after going 17-0-2-3 on the No. California circuit. One run type seems best going longer and will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
4th pick: #7 (Fools Road) (15-1) - The second of the Diodoro runners, his form isn't very good, but some sharp recent a.m. drills indicate he could factor at a big price.
