Top pick: #2 (JULIEBROWNEYES) - Blinkers go on this improving filly and trainer Ed Williams will move her from the turf to the dirt, shorten her up in distance, and cut her claiming price. Strong finisher should get a fast to rally into if all go that are entered.
2nd pick: #7 (Malibu Gem) - The probable favorite, mare has been showing good speed facing special weights and has finished third in three straight outings. She draws a nice post for this 6.5 furlong trip and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (My Bella Dora) - Filly chased and tired slightly last out on the grass going two-turns. Four-year-old finished fourth in her previous start at this tag and trip and was 3 lengths back of "Gem" at the wire.
