Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (BAUBLE QUEEN) - She's been bet in all three starts and was a very easy and impressive maiden winner on the main-track at Hollywood Park June 12 going 6.5 furlongs. Trainer Eric Kruljac has given her seven weeks since that effort and will stretch her out and move her to the grass for her first facing winners. Bred to handle the switch, and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Hard Sun) - Lightly raced and improving, daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" finished second last out facing slightly weaker and brings good early speed to the contest. Filly can factor for the top spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Artuya) - Filly broke her maiden on the Hollywood lawn at this trip May 30, then finished a close-up pace-setting third in her first facing winners. Has the rail, is improving, and daughter of "Giant's Causeway" is in the Baffert barn. Win candidate.
