Top pick: #7 (WARREN'S BABY WALK) - Speedy home-bred dueled through fast fractions last out and stayed on strongly to run third here at this price and distance nine days ago. Trainer Jorge Gutierrez adds both blinkers and leading rider Marty Pedroza. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Over Africa) - He had trined fast before making his debut at Del Mar Aug. 1 and raced evenly while wide running for twice this price. Capable barn drops him down and ridgling by "Johannesburg" has a big work at Santa Anita Sept. 16. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Storm's End) - Longshot races off a positive trainer switch and is training fast over at Los Alamitos for the new barn. Can ride the rail all the way and grab a small slice at a decent price.
