Top pick: #1 (UNUSUAL WAY) (4-1) - Very consistent sort (10-4-3-1) is that rare individual who has won on dirt, turf, and "poly." She ships from Golden Gate where she won a $100K turf stakes on June 1st, and the world's leading winning rider (Russel Baze) makes the trip south to ride her. Speed/stalker has the rail, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Libourne Eliza) (8-1) - Irish-bred has been competitive in all seven starts, and last out finished second of 11, beaten a 1/2 length facing weaker at Hollywood on June 13th. She has a flexible style, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Wishing Gate) (6-1) - Strong finisher ships from Chicago where this Glen Hill Farms home-bred won on the grass on June 23rd. She broke her maiden here last Sep., and is the only one entered with a victory on this surface. Food for thought.
4th pick: #9 (Foxy Boss) (12-1) - Daughter of "Street Boss" is consistent on the grass (6-1-3-1), and has shown clear improvement in her last pair. Stalker is a win candidate if she can avoid being forced to race wide.
5th pick: #10 (Disko Dasko) (20-1) - Longshot has good early speed, and will be stretching back out in distance. She should be involved turning for home, and can grab a share at a big price.
