Top pick: #11 (HIGH CRY) - Mare races first off a claim by the leading trainer here (Jamie Ness) and he wins at a 29% rate right back. Stalker is nearing her best following a two month break and can win this if she avoids a wide trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Mud Creek) - Exits a win here at this level three weeks ago and it was the best last out of any entered. Mare has won from both on and off the pace and is a win candidate again this afternoon.
3rd pick: #9 (Favored Lady) - Ships from Maryland and comes down in racing shape. Switches back to the grass where she's (4-2-1-0) and her best fits with these. Daughter of Lion Heart also gets a trainer switch to Leigh Delacour( and she wins at a 42% rate with new arrivals).
