Top pick: #5 (SIMPLE RULES) - Lightly raced filly set the pace and tired facing state-bred special weights at Belmont June 14th in a contest that was switched to the main-track labeled (good). Race was her first since late October and trainer Mike Hishion has put 4 sharp works into her since. Barn drops her into a claimer for the first time and she'll be tough to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Anchovy) - Another taking the drop into claimers for the first time and this daughter of "Lawyer Ron" has finished close up in 3 of 4 appearances facing the tougher competition. Has the rail and her best race came on a "good" surface at Belmont June 14.
3rd pick: #2 (Fruttidimare) - Home-bred showed nothing when debuting against tougher on the Belmont turf on June 6th. She took her share of betting action that day and trainer Chris Clement will drop her into a claimer and switch her to the dirt.
4th pick: #6 (Thirty Minutes) - Longshot also takes the samer drop as the top three picks, but she's shown little in three outings. May grab a small share from off the pace.
