Top pick: #6 (ISN'TSHEWONDERFUL) (7-2) - She moves from turf-to-dirt and shortens up in distance for the barn of Barclay Tagg. She was very wide here after breaking from a tough outside post (12th of 12) going a mile on the grass on July 21st. She's worked twice since, and one-run type draws outside of the speed types.

2nd pick: #4 (Rosie's Song) (3-1) - The probable main speed, "Rosie" has been freshened up since finishing third as a heavy favorite at Belmont on June 12th. Working steadily for this attempt and is a win candidate on the front-end.

3rd pick: #2 (Tassinaia) (8-1) - Lightly-raced home-bred chased and weakened while racing very wide at Belmont at this level and distance July 5th. This is her home course and she's threat at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Run to Mama) (8-1) - Nicely-bred filly ran evenly in her first pair on the grass, then stumbled badly in her first on the dirt and dumped rider Junior Alvarado. Daughter of "Cherokee Run" is brought back quickly (13 days) for this assignment and has an excellent half-mile breeze on Aug. 7. Price play.
