Top pick: #7 (RUN'N ON RESIDUALS) - Rumored to be a runner before his debut, he missed by a 1/2 length when debuting at Hollywood June 28th. Gelding "hopped" at the start and quickly became involved in a speed-duel before weakening slightly. Claimed that day by Pete Miller for $20K, he brings him back four weeks later and "doubles" him up in price. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Gifted Monarch) - Speedy Golden Gate shipper has finished second in his last pair there and this speed/stalkers "figures" fits with these. Training fine and Ed Moger Jr. will drop him into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Enduring Promise) - Another speedy sort, he has the rail, goes turf to "poly", and drops back into a claimer. Working fast and a win candidate.
