Top pick: #7 (MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE) - He's been freshened up since winning a small stakes at Hollywood when making his turf debut June 17. He had a very busy first half of this year and is working fast for his return. The top pick in a competitive stakes.
2nd pick: #3 (Surrey Star) - Only a neck back of "Interlude" last out and this Irish import always comes to run. Fits, has some tactical speed, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lil Bit O'Fun) - Races at his 7th different track this year, but he's working nicely for his west coast debut and trainer Tom Proctor wouldn't run him if he needed a rest. He threw in a "clunker" last out at Arlington and needs to turn it around today.
