Top pick: #6 (LIMITED RESPONSE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has been freshened up since late March when he was an easy winner on the Santa Anita dirt in a high end starter-allowance. That was a career best and owner/trainer Hector Palma will race him on the grass for the first time. Training fast and one-run type should et a fast pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #1 (Laugh At Life) (2-1) - He chased a fast pace while wide and would eventually finish 5th of 6, beaten just over two lengths facing tougher here at this trip on May 5th. Race was his first off a John Sadler claim and first on the grass. Contends today.
3rd pick: #2 (One Firm Cat) (5-2) - Deep closer rallied to finish 2nd in the same May 5th race as "Laugh at Life" in his first back from a 7 week freshening. Nice effort and this stakes place gelding will be closing fast.
