Top pick: #2 (BLAZEN ALL STAR) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly was a sharp maiden winner here at this distance for a $20K tag April 26, then chased and weakened for a $25,000 claiming price May 17 in her first facing winners.

2nd pick: #5 (Cavalla) (2-1) - She rallied from far back to finish second at this level going 6.5 furlongs on June 2. Has talent, and can factor with her best as she stretches out in distance.
3rd pick: #3 (Warren's Lorie S) (5-2) - Warren home-bred takes a sizable drop, goes turf to "poly," and has Bejarano back aboard for the first time since he rode her in her maiden win at Santa Anita on Feb. 23. Factors on the class reduction.
4th pick: #6 (La Pomme d'Amour) (6-1) - Lightly raced daughter of "Flower Alley" broke her maiden here at this distance on May 19, then tired facing tougher than these on the grass June 13. Drops and moves from the infield back to the all weather.
