Top pick: #7 (GOLD POTION) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she had a tough post last out (11th of 12), but stayed close up while very wide and rallied to finish second. She draws better today and can win this with any improvement whatsoever.
2nd pick: #6 (Cake N Cookies) (3-1) - She exits the same last race as "Potion," and after setting a pressured pace tired very late to check in fourth, two back of that rival. Win candidate today.
3rd pick: #8 (Tassinaia) (12-1) - She races third back off a two month break and was wide in her comebacker, then raced evenly in her latest after being "bumped" at the break.
4th pick: #1 (My Lucky Lieu) (5-1) - One-run type is improving, draws the rail, and the Toscano barn adds lasix. Dangerous if the drug moves her forward a bit.
5th pick: #4 (Rufus Ruth) (15-1) - Longshot has a bit of speed and some "figs" from her turf races that put her in this if repeatable on the dirt.
