Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (GURU) - Lightly raced and well-bred she races today off a 7 month break, but is training fast on the local surface and runs today first time for leading trainer Jamie Ness. Speedy filly catches a field without a lot of other speed and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Seattle Duchess) - This is already her third start at this meet and she finished second in both of those and each came at this $10K price tag. In a capable barn and she tries hard every time she runs. Four-year-old filly shortens up a furlong today but that should not pose any problem.

3rd pick: #2 (Genuine Forgery) - Races third back off a two month freshening and she's raced evenly in her first pair off the short rest. Leading rider Centeno climbs back aboard so this mare would seem to be well-meant. Lightly-raced six-year-old mare has some late kick, and catches a field a bit light on talent.
