Top pick: #5 (VICTORY ISLAND) - Lightly-raced filly rallied to miss by a neck racing here at this condition going 6.5 furlongs on July 22nd. Solid effort was her first start in 9 months and she's worked well since. In the Pletcher barn, she broke her maiden on this surface last August, and with any improvement in her second back can take this.

2nd pick: #4 (Vicki's Dancer) - Stalker exits the same July 22nd contest as "Island" and she finished a close-up third after chasing the pace while wide. She's worked twice since and was stakes placed last year at age two.

3rd pick: #3 (Clear Pasaj) - Lightly raced and improving, she tries winners for the first time following a maiden score here July 21st. Grey filly is well-bred, in a good barn, and a threat right back.
