Top pick: #4 (ELUSIVE PEARL) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Medaglia d'Oro" was an impressive winner in her debut at Laurel last Dec. and 6 weeks later tired badly in her first facing winners. Three-year-old is training fast for trainer Mike Trombetta and looks set for a winning effort off a 4 month break. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Terra Rolla) - She tired badly last out in a two-turn turf contest, but her previous efforts (all sprinting on the dirt) make her a player. Speed/stalker drwas the rail and has a big shot at the top prize.
3rd pick: #3 (Frock's Valley Girl) - She went wire-to-wire on this surface in a cheap claimer May. 6 and that made her 2-for-3 on this surface. Claimed that day by Dale Capuano (probably with this race in mind), he wins at a 31% rate first off the claim.
4th pick: #8 (Southern Sweetie) - Filly finished a pace-chasing second last out in an allowance that was switched to the main track. Working fast since, she's in a winning barn (Chris Grove), and runs second off a long layoff.
