Top pick: #7 (BOGIE) - Lightly raced and well-bred Irish-import is working steadily for his first race since last June when he missed by a "neck" in the G3 "Will Rogers Stakes" at Hollywood Park. Can win this competitive race if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Irrefutable) - Lightly raced and speedy runner from the Baffert barn is in-shape, draws the rail, and working fast for his first on the grass and first around two-turns. He has a recency edge on many entered.
3rd pick: #3 (Averoo) - English import has been freshened-up for the past two months by the Sadler barn and could factor at a nice price in this field.
4th pick: #8 (Times Gone By) - Very consistent lightly-raced son of "Giant's Causeway" fits at the level and trip and is working fast for his first race since May. This field drew tough so he needs to be at his best off the layoff.
