Top pick: #3 (UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE) - The probable favorite comes off a strong 2nd place finish here at this level and distance 18 days ago. Stalker had won her previous start here at this price by 13 1/2 lengths facing weaker 1y foes. Veteran is consistent, likes to win ( 7 for 28) and 6 of those have come on this surface.
2nd pick: #5 (Riveting) - She went wire to wire here facing weaker last out in her 2nd off a 2 1/2 month break. Has plenty of former class and this consistent veteran 6yo mare is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Burning Calories) - Veteran likes to middle move and has an excellent year going (8-3-1-2) with all of those starts coming at Monmouth. Races today off a trainer change to Patty faro and this mare by "Victory Gallop" is a threat with her best.
