Top pick: #6 (PAPACOOLPAPACOOL) (4-1) - He ran evenly while very wide here on Opening Day (July 16) in the $116K Oceanside Stakes. It was his first since May 30 and this double stakes winner can take this with a better trip.
2nd pick: #3 (Om ) (3-1) - Very lightly raced and quick from the gate, speedy colt has been freshened up since finishing 3rd at Santa Anita on the dirt in the Ge Affirmed Stakes. That effort was a good one as the winner 'Gimme Da Lute' has been on a tear of late. This colt was an easy winner in his turf debut May 10, and he's a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Prospect Park) (5-2) - He's making his grass debut after having gone 8-2-4-1 on the dirt. Stakes placed in three of his last four starts, son of 'Tapit' missed by a 'nose' last out at Los Alamitos to 'Gimme Da Lute' in the G2 Los Alamitos Derby. Win candidate if he handles the turf.
4th pick: #5 (Cross the Line) (8-1) - Another making his turf debut, stakes winner fits with his best if he handles the new surface. From the Hollendorfer barn, and Bejarano is back on the re-ride.
