Top pick: #3 (SUMMER SOIREE) - She was absolutely smashing when winning her turf debut June 25 at Monmouth in the G3 Boiling Springs S. She went rigt to the front, set a sensible pace, and drew off to a 8 1/2 length win earning a 99 Beyer "figure". Working fast at Fair Hill in Maryland before shipping and is the horse to beat in a very strong edition of this important stakes.
2nd pick: #7 (Cambina) - Strong finisher put in a furious late rally to win the American Oaks(G1)at Hollywood Park July 16. Working fast for this, and Irish-bred should get a solid pace to rally into if all go. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Bizzy Caroline) - Lightly raced she was beaten less than a length in the Hollywood Oaks in her first west coast appearance and trainer Ken McPek has put a trio of solid works into her this month. Price play.
4th pick: #2 (Star Billing) - Very lightly raced, she just missed in the Hollywood Oaks after "bobbling" at the start and having a wide trip. Daughter of "Dynaformer" is still learning the game and is working fast.
