Top pick: #9 (TOP KNOT) (2-1) - Grey filly raced both wide and evenly sprinting for a $40K tag at Hollywood June 21st in her first off almost a two month break. Trainer Vlad Cerin worked her locally on the 26th, drops her price in half, and stretches her out in distance.
2nd pick: #8 (Liar Liar Liar) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old mare rallied to finish second racing at this tag and trip at Hollywood on July 4th. Race was her first in three months, first in a claimer, and was a positive experience.
3rd pick: #3 (Tiz a Funtime) (6-1) - Filly by "Tiznow" hasn't shown much in her first pair, but both came facing special weights and she had the rail in each. Trainer Bruce Headley drops her into a claimer and adds blinkers for this appearance. Can factor with the changes.
4th pick: #7 (Paris Affair) (5-1) - Daughter of "Bernstein" has raced evenly facing much tougher in all five starts since coming off almost a half-year's absence on Feb. 10th. Trainer Jim Cassidy drops her to a new low and $50K yearling purchase should be competitive against this group.
