Top pick: #7 (PAPER PLANE) - Filly showed some fine early speed and held well in a mile race at Churchill Downs June 4th facing "open" special weights and is shipped here by trainer Ed Kenneally to face fellow state-breds in start No. 2. He's had her work three times in the past 20 days, including a "get acquainted" breeze here 5 days ago. Barn shortens her up in distance and Dominguez is signed-on. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Proud Dame) - Logical threat has finished second in her last pair, both at this level going a mile. Stalker is working fast for this and trainer Barclay Tagg will cut her back a bit in distance.
