Top pick: #1 (HAIR ON FIRE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, filly has been freshened up since May 17th. Daughter of "Bernstein" has the best early speed, drops into a career soft spot, and draws the rail. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #10 (Little Unusual) (5-1) - This is start No. 24 for this mare, but most have come facing much tougher on the grass. She showed some life last out when finishing fourth and will drop back down and gets a major rider change to Garret Gomez.

3rd pick: #4 (Magic Maya) (15-1) - Longshot hasn't shown much to date, but she's well-bred and is working nicely for her first since early June.

4th pick: #2 (I'm No Patsy) (10-1) - Reddam home-bred has some speed and will drop into a claimer for the first time. She goes turf to "poly" and runs second back off a two month layoff.

5th pick: #8 (Speedy Vixen) (12-1) - Veteran maiden stretches out off a trio of solid efforts and has a sharp half-mile breeze heading into this. This field is a bit weak for the tag and can factor at a square price.
