Top pick: #7 (THEREISGOLDAHEAD) - Claimed in early March at the Fair Grounds by Ramon Preciado for $10.5K, new barn gave her 70 days of freshening before running this 3-year-old. Daughter of "Touch Gold" chased and tired on a very muddy track in a starter-allowance in her return and barn drops her under the claimed price for this. Nice work May 27th should have her ready for her best.
2nd pick: #4 (Surround Sound) - Lightly-raced filly by "Include" was an impressive maiden winner here May 27th, racing for $25K and it came in her first off a claim by Ron Dandy and the addition of blinkers. Very tough again today.
3rd pick: #1 (Smokehouse) - Has the rail and trainer Kate DeMasi will drop her slightly and stretch her out in distance. Her only previous attempt at this trip resulted in a second-place finish in Dec. Can factor with her best.
