Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (SUPER REGAN) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he comes off a career best when he just missed here at this level and distance July 17th. Improving and well bred, he's in a winning barn (Pete Miller) and anything nearing his latest beats these.

2nd pick: #6 (Cernobbio) (6-1) - Price play is racing third back off a series of layoffs. No speed type drops down in class, goes turf to "poly." and has tough posts in his return pair. Stretch threat.

3rd pick: #7 (No Dishonor) (9-2) - He has more speed than most entered and will be dropping into a career soft spot. Capable barn (Cody Autry) has him working well locally for what will be his first on a synthetic surface.

4th pick: #4 (Stolen Property) (6-1) - Freshened up for the past two months, gelding has finished fourth in his last pair when facing tougher on the turf and trainer Dan Blacker will drop him in class and switch him from grass to "poly." In the mix.

5th pick: #5 (Vavoom) (15-1) - He finished second when debuting at Hollywood park in July of last year but has yet to duplicate that solid initial effort. He's racing third off an 11 1/2 month layoff and second off a Tim Yakteen claim. May grab a share at a big price.
