Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (UPPER GULCH) - Veteran mare was a good "flat" runner in her day and was a sharp looking winner May 21 at Colonial Downs in her third try over fences. Blinkers went back on that day and she can get trainer Tom Voss (who normally wins three or four races at this meet) his first victory of the season.

2nd pick: #1 (Well Fashioned) - Daughter of the the famous "Cozzene" has really taken to the "jumps" going (4-1-2-1) since converting this past spring. Now with veteran trainer Paul Fout, she wasn't far off of "Gulch" when they met in late may and looks set for big effort.

3rd pick: #4 (Opera Heroine) - Speedy sort has a recency edge on the top pair when she won a race here on the Sunday before the meet opened on the annual Open House day. Mare was a good turf performer and is a win candidate in this spot.
