Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (TEDDY'S PROMISE) - Filly set a very fast pace before tiring to finish third here at this level on the dirt July 23. Race was her first since early March and trainer Ron Ellis brings her back in just over a month and moves her to the grass. Working fast and will be tough to catch.

2nd pick: #1 (Ballistic Sue) - Another with early speed and she ships here from Golden Gate for the high-percentage barn of Steve Miyadi. Has the rail, P. Val, and daughter of "City Zip" is bred to like the grass, which she'll be trying for the first time.

3rd pick: #6 (Brown is Beige) - Stalker raced first off a Mike Pender claim and he brings her back in five weeks and will cut her back in distance, and run her where she can't get claimed.

4th pick: #8 (Dazzling Display) - Speedy filly from the Baffert barn goes off a 4 month layoff and will be racing on the turf for the first time. Working fast and is trying the grass for the first time. Can factor, but in all likely-hood she'll be over-bet.
