Top pick: #1 (SHAKE THE MOON) - Nice betting affair on view. Recent arrival from France came over at the same time with "Astrologie" and they raced as an entry in the recent "Long Island" hdcp. Race was on a "soft" course and this filly only offered a mild late rally. Daughter of the fine sire, "Loup Solitaire" was with one of the best trainers in France, Andre Fabre. Runner is now with Chris Clement, and he adds lasix today, a 23% move by the turf specialist. Filly draws the rail and this is a much "softer" spot. Only concern is the shortness of the race.
2nd pick: #8 (Impressionism) - Hard-hitter is a turf specialist (12-2-5-2) who has elevated her game this year at age four. Has enough tactical speed to not allow this post to hurt her chances. Big shot at the win.
3rd pick: #6 (According to Plan) - Lightly raced and talented. Appears to have found a home on the grass (3-1-2-0) and she'll try stretching her ability around two-turns for the first time.
