Top pick: #7 (FASHION TREND ) - Filly finished a stalking third last out on the main track in her first back of a half-year's layoff and looked a bit "short" in that effort. Barn brings her back quickly and she'll move to the turf and stretch-out in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Irish Torrent ) - Daughter of "Giant's Causeway" has finished second in six of her 14 starts and is a stretch threat again this afternoon. Large filly would love a fast/contested pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #2 (Megaspiel) - English-bred has been racing evenly in her last pair and has a trio of solid works for her first since June 6. Think she'll be an exotics factor this afternoon.
