Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (GLORIOUS VIEW) - Freshened up since a narrow defeat at Belmont when racing at this level on June 30th, she's training fast on this surface and meets a rather weak group for this condition. Daughter of "Pleasant Tap" need only repeat her last effort to pick up her first win.

2nd pick: #9 (It's Saturday Night) - Home-bred filly chased and tired slightly in the same June 30th contest as "View" and was 4.5 lengths back of that rival at the finish. Another who is working nicely on this surface and normal second out improvement should make her dangerous.

3rd pick: #4 (Crafty Push) - Home-bred filly by the late "Dixie Union" has shown good early speed in all three appearances and has been working fast at Belmont for her first start in just over two months. Her prior starts have been filled with good runners and she can factor today if ready off the brief vacation.
