Top pick: #7 (CONKATE) - Grey filly drops into a claimer for the first time and will go turf to the all-weather surface and shorten up a bit in distance. Home-bred has been racing evenly and can win this on the drop.
2nd pick: #5 (Pumpkin Pie) - Races first off a Pete Miller claim and he'll double her up in price as she makes back-to-back starts for the first time. Well-bet last out, she rallied to finish third after a very wide trip. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Valeria) - Mare has been competitive in both starts since dropping into claimers and last out rallied to finsh third here at this level. She's had trouble at the start in three of her last four and needs to break "cleanly".
