Premium Pick
(# 1) DOWNTOWN LOVER - Ran well in last from an outside post last out. Made a four wide bid around the turn, got the lead in early stretch but could not hold late. Moves to the rail today, and may get a better trip.

(# 5) Warren's Mystery - Defeated the top pick in last by a length, and she is very close to the top selection in my figures. Showed a lot of grit in last as she was between horses the whole race before making some headway late.

(# 8) Bestatit - Poor ride and overall effort in her return from 10 months on the sidelines. Barn (Mullins) has strong numbers with runners making their second start after long layoffs (27%). Not sure about todays rider. No info is available.

(# 12) Bench Wench - Three strong efforts to begin her career in the summer. Tries a new surface today, and has neither run or worked over it so far. May be overbet.

(# 3) Madonna Mia - Cuts back in distance and drops in claiming value today. The fields lone four-year-old is a Brazilian import, and is a curious entrant, as her races indicate ability, but bad placing by her connections.
