Top pick: #5 (MARINO'S STAR) - Returns off a long layoff ( almost 11 months). Gelding raced evenly after a slow start in his debut and he had some support at the windows in that Del Mar race. Lasix is added and he's training well for a barn (Ron Ellis) that is excellent off of long vacations( 28%). The top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Valley Cat) - Probable favorite finished 2nd here at this level June 18th in only the 2nd start of his career. In a winning barn (Pete Eurton) and a strong win factor.
3rd pick: #7 (Blue Jay Attack ) - He raced evenly in his debut facing tougher and did so despite a slow starts. Moves in with fellow Cal-breds today for a barn (Marty Jones) that wins at 22% 2nd time out.
