Top pick: #7 (HARD LIFE) - Daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" has been freshened-up since finish third in a high-end starter-allowance at Belmont on May 3rd. She's training fast at Aqueduct for trainer Rick Dutrow, and strong finisher should get a solid pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #3 (Party of Interest) - Well-bred filly tackles winners for the first time following a gate to wire maiden win at Belmont Park June 23rd in an "off the turf" contest. Daughter of "Bernardini" is working fast since and is a threat right back.
3rd pick: #1 (D'Oratory) - She has the inside post and won here at this distance last August. Mare finished second two back at Belmont at this level, but ran very poorly last out. Can factor with her best at a square price.
