Top pick: #3 (POWER SERIES) - Grey gelding is one of a pair entered by trainer Mike Mitchell and the barn-mates race uncoupled. He raced wide and evenly facing tougher on the Hollywood grass just 13 days ago in his first start since July of 2011. Barn brings him back quickly, drops him way down, and switches him to the "poly".
2nd pick: #8 (Adriatic Moon) - The second of the Mitchell pair races first off a claim (a strong 33% winning angle by the barn) and has been freshened-up for the past 2 1/2 months by the new man.
3rd pick: #2 (Temerity) - Consistent sort finished second at this price at Hollywood park on July 5th. Races third back off a two month break and he won his only previous local start.
