Top pick: #2 (JUST JENDA) - Undefeated (three for three) on the local surface and she won the "Monmouth Beach" stakes here last out at this distance despite a bad stumble early on. Very difficult to beat with a repeat of that effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Malibu Prayer ) - Talented daughter of "Malibu Moon" raced evenly sprinting at Belmont May 29 in her first race in 6 1/2 months. Working fast since, she draws the rail and stretches-out in distance. Filly finished second to "Jenda" here last year in the Monmouth Oaks(G3). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Amazing ) - From the always dangerous barn of Rick Dutrow speed/stalker has a very good record on conventional dirt (14-4-3-2) and she can be in the final mix if she can avoid a wide trip.
