Top pick: #4 (CACTUS FLYER) - Has fine early speed and mare finished second at this level going 5.5 furlongs August 3. Has a flexible style and should have little trouble getting over to the hedge at the start. Five-year-old can take them wire-to-wire.
2nd pick: #5 (Desperate Measures) - Filly had some traffic issues last out in the same race as "Cactus" and was about two lengths off of her on the wire. Runs today third off a two-month freshening and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Magic School) - Lightly-raced filly by "In Excess" has run well in both turf starts, inluding her maiden win at Hollywood park July 16. Moves back to the grass after finishing second here on the main-track July 30, and has a pair of fast drills since then. Win candidate.
