Contenders 

Wild Dude is your defending champ and has won the last 2 out of 4 starts. Kobe's Back showed that he still has it with a win in the Palos Verdes. Calculator returned off an over a year injury related layoff to win his return. Coastline is going from turf to dirt after winning the Clocker's Corner. San Onfre was 4th against his fellow Cal breds in the California Cup Sprint (which was won by a filly), however he has a G3 win to his name.
