Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (ROSENGOLD) (5-1) - He was just a bit "short" here on "Opening Day" when he set the pace and tired very late to finish a close-up fourth in the $112K "Oceanside" stakes. Triple stakes winner on the grass can take this group from gate-to-wire this afternoon.

2nd pick: #7 (Freakin Rocket) (7-2) - Lightly-raced colt finished a strong third in the 1st division of the "Oceanside" here on July 17th. Race was his first on the grass, first around two-turns, and he's a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (Den's Legacy) (6-1) - Baffert-trained colt has more experience than the top pair and has kept very good company his entire career. Runs third off a seven week break and can factor at a nice price with his best.

4th pick: #5 (Greeley Awesome) (6-1) - Four-time winner has no early speed, but rallied into a strong pace to finish second in the 1st division of the "Oceanside." Colt is a late threat, especially if the pace is fast/and or contested.
