Top pick: #10 (OSTURAH) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly finished a pace-setting second last out at this level and distance at Hollywood on June 29th . It was her second back from a 7 1/2 month layoff, and a career best. She's worked fast since and is the top pick.

2nd pick: #2 (Hail Mary) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's gone 5-2-1-2 overall, and is 3-1-1-1 in stakes competition. Speedy sort has been freshened up since May 19th, and is working well above average for her return. Obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Imwiththeblonde) (8-1) - Price play in the same race exotic bets, she's been on the sidelines since Jan. 21 when she tired after chasing a very fast pace in the "Santa Ynez" stakes (G2). Working fast, and she can impact at long odds.

4th pick: #8 (Malibu Honey) (10-1) - Lightly race daughter of "Malibu Moon" is another returning off a break (May 16th), and she's been competitive in all three so far. Don't just dismiss.

5th pick: #3 (Heat Trap) (3-1) - Undefeated (two for two) filly moves up to face tougher, and will be racing on something other than grass for the first time. Could factor, but will be over-bet.
