Top pick: #2 (ROMACACA) - Wonderful mare has spent almost her entire career on the grass and her outstanding record stands at (25-13-4-3). 6yo is two for two on this surface and last summer she went back to back on this course taking the Miss Liberty stakes on July 3rd and four weeks later she was victorious in the Matchmaker Stakes (G3). This is her best distance (9-5-1-3) and she draws inside of the other contenders.
2nd pick: #3 (Unbridled's Humor) - Grey mare also loves the grass (11-5-2-1) and will be making her local debut. This G3 level is one she prefers and well-travelled 5yo is (3-1-2-0) at this trip. Stalker is a serious threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Whipsaw City) - Lightly raced French import ran well in all but one of 5 starts in her native country and faced males in four of those. Following a 7 month layoff she won back to back starts at Gulfstream on the grass before finishing 5th of 8 last out at Keeneland in the (G1) Madison Stakes going 7 furlongs on the all weather surface. Major player if she runs.
