Top pick: #6 (KISS AT MIDNIGHT) (6-1) - Price play is one of two with a win at this 7-furlong distance. That came June 4 at Santa Anita when she rallied to win b y 4 1/2 lengths facing high-end starter-allowance foes. Freshened up since, trainer Rich Baltas moves her way up in class in her first stakes attempt. Has a solid shot at a juicy odds.
2nd pick: #3 (Sheer Pleasure) (9-5) - The probable heavy favorite, double stakes winner is shortening up in distance and moving back in with fellow Cal breds. She ran 4th last out in the G2 Summer Oaks facing 'open' company after winning a pair of back-to-back stakes at this level. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Missy Mouse) (5-1) - No speed type is the other entered with a win at this distance. Strong finisher moves back to the dirt after finishing 2nd last out on the grass facing a tough 'open' company group.
