Top pick: #5 (SWISS SUGAR) (5-2) - Home-bred showed excellent early speed before weakening late when debuting at this tag on July 11th at Hollywood. Trainer Steve Knapp has worked him twice since and this daughter of "Swiss Yodeler" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Raja's Rose) (3-1) - The field's most experienced filly, she's raced evenly in all three outings and has had troubled starts in her last pair. Win candidate with a "clean" getaway.
3rd pick: #7 (Patty Whack) (3-1) - Freshened up since early June, filly is working nicely at Hollywood for her return and will be dropping into a claimer for the first time.
4th pick: #4 (Lovely Instinct) (15-1) - Away slowly in her debut, she was never involved while racing evenly. Daughter of "Henny Hughes" has worked three times since and can factor at a big price with an alert beginning.
