Top pick: #3 (PRECHER ROE) (7-2) - He's working nicely at Santa Anita for his first start since Jan 8. He finished second that afternoon at this $8,000 tag and was claimed by Adam Kitchingman. Stalker has some back class and the presence of Marty Pedroza is a plus.
2nd pick: #2 (Dekko) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's stretching out in distance in his second back from a year's layoff. Speedy sort finished second at this tag June 13 at Santa Anita going 6.5-furlongs in his return effort. Very much a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Jackson Sundown) (5-2) - Four-year-old has been racing evenly of late and enters off a fourth place finish at this tag going two-turns at Santa Anita June 6. He's the only member of this small field who has won here before and he did it racing for a $25K tag last December.
