Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (LORD VRONSKY) - Colt has good early speed and trainer Dan Hendricks will move him to the grass for the first time. Three-year-old tired last out on the main-track facing "open" special weight competition and in his previous start finished a close-up third at Hollywood also against "open" foes. Moves back in with fellow Cal-breds this afternoon and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Starspangled Heat) - Gelding is one of a pair entered by trainer Barry Abrams and the two will race as separate interests. Three-year-old by "Unusual heat" rallied to miss by a head last out at this level and distance and is a win candidate today.

3rd pick: #7 (Amoracchius) - This runner is also a strong finisher and last out finished third in a solid field. He had some traffic issues that day or he might have won. Stretch threat in this spot.
