Top pick: #2 (GETOFFMYBACK) (3-1) - Colt cost $110,000 this past Mach as a 2-year-old in training. Well bet when debuting at Santa Anita June 26, he rallied following a slow start to finish fourth of nine, beaten 2-lengths. Race was at this level and distance. A strong second-out barn (Mark Casse 28%) has worked him since and son of 'Good Journey' can take this with an alert getaway.

2nd pick: #7 (Captain Akers) (5-2) - He's finished second in both starts, each at this level at Santa Anita. Tommy Town home bred overcame outside posts and wide trips in each. An obvious threat.

3rd pick: #1 (Tengas Ransom) (5-1) - Colt breaks from the rail and he had a sharp half-mile gate work at Santa Anita July 5. Trainer Jeff Mullins, who is having a sub-par year, won yesterday's Oceanside Stakes. Debuting home bred is a major threat if he breaks running.

4th pick: #5 (Lee the Preacher) (8-1) - Another that's debuting, he has several quick a.m. moves out of seven published works. Home bred by 'Lucky Pulpit' must be left in the mix.
