Top pick: #5 (PATRIOTIC LION) (7-2) - He's had a lot of chances (25-0-8-4), but has been competitive many times in the past against tougher fields than this. Gelding has a speed/stalking style, is working fine, and he's finished second in two of three at this seven furlong trip.
2nd pick: #9 (Captain Camelot) (12-1) - Longshot chased a fast pace and finished evenly at this tag on June 22nd at Hollywood in his first back from a two month break. Working well and can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #12 (Thrills and Chills) (6-1) - Away poorly when debuting at Hollywood on July 6th. Trainer Ron Ellis brings him back quickly, gives him a sizable drop, and the barn is very strong second time out (27%).
4th pick: #8 (Riseseastsetswest) (20-1) - Claimed on May 19th at Hollywood for $40K, trainer Craig Lewis drops him off a layoff and adds blinkers. Think this 3yo will be competitive at a big price.
5th pick: #2 (Affirmed Arch) (6-1) - Speedy sort has an inside post, and that means he'll be sent hard early. May last for a share, but he'll be facing outside pressure in this spot.
