Top pick: #12 (PROUD DAME) - With this race expected to be switched to the main track, this filly is entered for "dirt only" and holds a big edge, and a nice post, over her rivals. Three-year-old has finished second in two straight at this level and distance and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Shasta Go Lucky) - Didn't show much in her debut which came here May 27th facing tougher on the turf, and a strong second out barn (Chad Brown - 30%) may elect to run her on the dirt if this race is as expected run on the main track. She's worked well on this surface, and if she goes is a threat.
3rd pick: #11 (Lucy Stragmore) - Appears to be better on the grass, but earlier this year she was somewhat competitive in a trio of dirt starts and think she'll run if this race comes off the turf. Can factor if she runs.
4th pick: #8 (Stray Bullet) - Goes second off a long absence and she finished second at this level and distance on a sloppy track at Aqueduct in early Nov. Working well for this and in her return effort this filly raced evenly on the grass June 4th. Can impact at a square price.
