Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (ALALA) - The probable favorite moves to the turf off a pair of solid efforts on the main-track here. Daughter of "Salt Lake" is bred to handle the grass, continues to work sharply, and has been bet in both her appearances. The top choice, but reverse those exactas.

2nd pick: #6 (Tribal Beauty) - Lightly-raced filly cloesd well last out going longer on the grass dsepite breaking slowly. Shortens-up for this, retains Mike Smith, and she makes back to back starts for the first time. Contender.

3rd pick: #1 (Nana Beach) - Mare by "Unusual Heat" (the top turf sire in the U.S.) has run well in both starts since switching to the infield, including a strong effort at this "tricky" 6.5 furlong distance "down the hill." Can be a big factor in this rather inexperienced field.
