Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (HUMOR ME) (5-1) - Daughter of "Indian Charlie" stretches out in distance in her second back from a seven month break. She had no shot last out after a troubled start and trainer Bob Baffert has her making back-to-back starts for the first time.

2nd pick: #1 (Passionate Diva) (7-2) - Nicely bred filly finished a strong pace-chasing third here at this level on the turf on July 27th in her first since racing in England in late Jan. She has lasix added and ran well overseas in a pair on synthetic surfaces.

3rd pick: #2 (Iconic Spirit) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer John Sadler and she raced both wide and evenly here on the grass on July 27th in her first off a two month vacation. She should contend against this crew.

4th pick: #6 (Rosies Ready) (8-1) - The second of the Sadler pair, she's working fine locally for her first since June 23rd. This will be her first attempt at a two-turn trip and the aggressive Edwin Maldonado is back on the re-ride.
