Top pick: #3 (ADVENTURE LOVE) (3-1) - French import has spent her entire career on the grass 11-3-4-1 and has gone 7-2-3-1 in sprints. Three-year-old ships here from Arlington Park where she defeated weaker at this distance on June 7th. It was her best since coming from Europe last fall and it came off a 4 1/2 month freshening. Her jockey, Luigi Dettori, is one of the best overseas and has decided to ride here at this meet.

2nd pick: #1 (Zamquick) (7-2) - Lightly-raced mare ships in from Churchill Downs where she was an impressive wire-to-wire winner to break her maiden going 5-furlongs on the grass. By far a career best and she still has room for upside. Five-year-old has the rail and she's a threat despite a big move up in class.

3rd pick: #10 (Ballerina Belle) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly will be shortening up a bit in distance for this attempt. She's finished second in her last pair at this level racing at Belmont and one-run type should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.

4th pick: #4 (Kiss Me Lola) (5-1) - Mare is the only one entered with a win in the past on this course. Home bred broke her maiden here a year ago at this distance and is making her third start back off a three month break.
