Top pick: #9 (COLONIAL FLAG) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Pleasant Tap" ships from Churchill where she rallied to finish 2nd on June 16th in the Regret Stakes (G3). Probably best that day, she was "bumped" at the start and was floated wide turning for home. Trainer Mike Matz ships her west and has Rajiv Maragh come in from Belmont for the ride.

2nd pick: #5 (Regalo Mia) - Lightly-raced and talented, she was beaten a nose last out at Belmont in the (G2) Sands Point May 28th and was working nicely at Saratoga before shipping here. Consistent (6-1-3-2) and Raf Bejarano is aboard for this filly's west coast debut.

3rd pick: #2 (Lady of Shamrock) - Consistent daughter of "Scat Daddy" is a two month freshening and she's a win threat today. A graded stakes winner and last out here mised by a nose in the (G2) Honeymoon Hdcp.

4th pick: #7 (Miss Cato) - English-bred comes from her native country with a fine record (7-4-2-1) and has run well in both starts at this 10-furlong distance. Lasix is added and she must be left in the mix.
