Top pick: #6 (LAVENHAM) - Veteran mare is (6-4-0-1) since being claimed by trainer Jamie Ness in mid-June and is (15-5-1-4) overall this year. Runs "tagged" after winning 3-of-4 starter-allowances at Delaware Park, but it's still over the price ($7500) that she was claimed for. Six-year-old can win this if she brings her Delaware form with her.
2nd pick: #1 (Going For More) - Racing back into shape, 3-year-old finished an even fourth here two weeks ago racing at this level. Stalker draws the rail and should get a fast pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #2 (Tribal Mistress) - Consistent filly started in a good California barn (Mike Puype) and after leaving the West Coast, she's gone (7-3-3-0) racing at Prairie Meadows and Northlands Park. Working nicely since arriving here and a threat at a square price.
