Top pick: #3 (WONDER PHIL) - Speedy gelding will stretch out off a pair of sprints at this level where he pressed the pace in each and tired during the stretch run. Trainer Bob Tiller will take this 3-year-old's blinkers off and send him around two turns, which he's raced well at before. Looks like the main speed of this group, and could win this at a big price.
2nd pick: #7 (Control) - Probable heavy favorite has finished second in two straight starts here at this condition and trip after coming back from a 5 1/2 month layoff in early May. In the barn of leading trainer Mark Casse and the top local jockey Luis Contreras is aboard and when teamed-up they win at 25% rate.
