Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (SWEET PLEASURE) - Home-bred finished fourth of eight, beaten a bit over a length when making her debut July 27. Filly had some trouble at the start, and was forced to race wide before rallying to finish fourth. Barn brings her back quickly, has worked her twice since then, and stretches her out a bit in distance. Can win this with a clean start.

2nd pick: #6 (Homework) - Price-play has been freshened up since finishing third at this tag July 2 at Hollywood Park. Three-year-old had some serious traffic issues late in the stretch that day or she might have won at odds of 20-1. Can factor today at a square price.

3rd pick: #8 (Zees Chris) - Scratched out of a race yesterday to await this spot, she'll be cutting back in distance after a troubled trip going two turns here July 28. Has a nice work a week ago and should be involved from gate to wire.
