Top pick: #3 (LADY OF FIFTY) (5-1) - Consistent grey filly has won 5 of 10 overall and upset the Palm Springs Hdcp. last out at Santa Anita. Her record on "poly" stands at (6-3-0-2) and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer has her working nicely here for her first local appearance.
2nd pick: #8 (Inglorious) (5-2) - She hasn't won since beating the boys in the $1,000,000 Queen's Plate at Woodbine in late June of 2011 but she's only made five starts since then and in both "poly" appearances she finished third in a pair of stakes. The class of the field, she factors today.
3rd pick: #6 (Charm the Maker) (3-1) - Well-bred and talented, she's gone winless in 2012, but comes into this "poly" start off a trio of sharp grass races. Daughter of "Empire Maker" was a stakes winner on this surface late in 2011 and is working fast for today's attempt.
