Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (BARDY) (7-2) - Stretch-out sprinter raced evenly at Hollywood going 6 furlongs at this level on July 6th. Race was his first since late Aug. of 2012 and he's come back with a pair of fine local drills.

2nd pick: #11 (Affirmed Arch) (6-1) - The main speed, he stretches out off a trio of fine efforts going 7 furlongs. Gelding by "Arch" will takes them as far as he can and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Neil Healy) (6-1) - Price play stretches back out and will run without blinkers for the first time. The recently returned Pat Valenzuela is aboard and this 3-year-old had a bullet half-mile work at Hollywood on Aug. 2.

4th pick: #12 (Mr Fitzramahorn) (8-1) - Another stretch-out sprinter, he's been competitive in his last pair, runs with blinkers removed, and is bred to love the added distance.

5th pick: #1 (Chocolatier) (3-1) - He takes the huge drop out of a pair of special weight contests to race in a claimer for the first time. Has the rail, is in the Sadler barn, and whatever talent he has will show against these.
