Top pick: #8 (MISS SILVER BROOK) - $600,000 daughter of "Cozzene" is working in just spectacular fashion for this with a pair of five-furlong "bullets" on this strip July 24 and July 31. Has talent, is well-spotted and well-positioned in the gate. The filly to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (African Skies) - European import will be shortening-up in distance and moving from the turf to the "poly" for trainer Pat Biancone. She's faced nothing but Graded stakes competition on both continents since her maiden win on May 31 of '08. Win threat vs. these.
3rd pick: #7 (Via Viento) - Faces a tough task as daughter of "Orientate" hasn't raced since her maiden win here on August 30 of last year. Working well and in the Baffert barn, she could impact this if ready to take her best shot.
