Top pick: #1 (PORK CHOP) - Gelding raced evenly at Hollywood for a $50K tag June 29th in his first back off almost a 100-day break. Drops, is working fast, and he has the rail.
2nd pick: #2 (Hammer the Bay) - Speedy grey colt has been flashing early gas facing tougher and trainer Doug O'Neill will halve him in price this afternoon. Win candidate from on, or just off the top.
3rd pick: #10 (Johan) - Longshot hasn't raced in almost a year and will drop into a claimer, shorten up in distance, and race on a synthetic surface for the first time. Working fast and this 4-year-old has taken a lot of money in two of his three starts.
4th pick: #9 (Extra Fifty) - Unraced in 13 months and he'll drop into a claimer for the first time off the long absence. Training fine and 4-year-old will also go turf to "poly" and cut back in distance.
