Top pick: #3 (ACTORS INC) (5-2) - He comes off a career best when he chased a "long gone" winner on June 9th but gamely held down the place spot. Race was his first since relocating from Golden Gate Fields and first for trainer Phil Aristone. Working fast for this and stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Bob Greco) (2-1) - He makes his first local start since arriving from Hollywood Park in early June. Five-year-old has faced tougher his whole career and races today at a new low in price. Major player.
3rd pick: #6 (Gottcha My Dear) (6-1) - Gelding has some early speed and last out held down the place spot here racing at this tag and trip. Fits, but needs to do better "figure" wise to threaten the top two picks.
4th pick: #7 (Justingo Shiner) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old gelding comes off a career best when he finished a non-threatening third here racing for a $15K tag on June 10th. In a good barn (Marc Zulueta 21%) and he drops him down a bit.
