Top pick: #6 (LIVE FOR NOW) (5-2) - Daughter of "Tiznow" moves back in with fellow maidens after finishing second in a G2 stakes on the Santa Anita dirt June 21st. She had just missed in her previous start there at this level and has been competitive on synthetic surfaces in the past.

2nd pick: #4 (Southern Sunshine) (8-1) - Speedy filly is stretching out in distance after a trio of useful sprints since coming off a 7 1/2 month layoff on May 10th. Working well locally and her early speed makes her dangerous at a square price.

3rd pick: #1 (West Riding) (2-1) - Debuting daughter of "Tapit" is from the Baffert barn and has been training fast locally for her first appearance. Has the rail and is a major factor if she runs to her a.m. drills.

4th pick: #5 (Iconic Spirit) (6-1) - She's had a lot of chances (12-0-4-2), but was only a 1/2 length back of "Live for Now" at Santa Anita on May 25th. Working well here since then and 4-year-old can grab a share at a square price.
