Top pick: #8 (GALLANT CHARM) - Price play was away "slowly" in his debut and in his latest he ran a bit "head strong". Colt moves back to "poly" this afternoon and Bejarano will be aboard for the first time. He wins at a 22% clip when riding for trainer Mike Puype.
2nd pick: #1 (Back to Bako) - The probable favorite, he's finished 2nd in both appearances, the first on the Del Mar "poly" and the latest on the Santa Anita dirt. One run type draws the rail and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Star Rocker) - Home-bred has been competitive in all his starts (3-0-1-2)and moves back in with maidens after finishing 3rd last out at Santa Anita in a $250K stakes. Improving and he's part of the three horse win mix.
