Top pick: #10 (TWIRLING CANDY) - He was a good-lookin winner of the G2 Californian at Hollywood Park on June 4, then was beaten a neck when running third in the G1 Gold Cup on the same course July 9. Working very fast for this and 4-year-old will be running here for the first time. The top pick.
2nd pick: #9 (Game on Dude) - Hard hitter missed by a nose in the Gold Cup and like most Baffert runners is training fast for his next start. That Gold Cup effort was his first on a synthetic surface and was his best ever. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Don Cavallo) - Woodbine invader is consistent, has fine early speed, owns the rail, and was training very fast before shipping west. Dangerous rival.
