Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (CANDY AND NUTS) - Filly chased a fast pace and had some traffic issues when debuting at Hollywood June 26th. She has a bullet work on this surface one week ago and trainer Doug O'Neill will drop her into a claimer in this spot. Barn names a good speed rider this afternoon (Marty Pedroza) and this filly is the top selection.

2nd pick: #6 (Tap It Twice) - Grey filly raced evenly facing special weights June 26th and ran evenly in a good educational first outing. Trainer Bob Baffert has worked her twice since and will drop her into a claimer this afternoon. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Grandma's Rules) - Filly finished a pace-chasing third when debuting at this price at Churchill Downs June 24th. Home-bred is brought back quickly for her first West Coast appearance and veteran trainer Tom Proctor will switch her to a synthetic surface this afternoon. Has the rail and can factor with some improvement.
