Top pick: #9 (TRANSPLENDID) (5-1) - Daughter of "Elusive Quality" is clearly improving, and has a lot of speed to her inside to set up a stretch charge. I like her chances, and filly will be a decent price (4 or 5-1).

2nd pick: #2 (Jenny's Creek) (6-1) - Speedy 3yo stretches out after a pair of fine second place finishes at Belmont at this level going shorter. She breaks just off the rail, and is a win candidate on the front end.

3rd pick: #8 (Atlantic's Smile) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she rallied to miss by a nose at this level going six furlongs at Belmont June 30th. Race was her first on the grass, and it's of note that this home-bred has been bet heavily in both starts.

4th pick: #3 (As Well) (5-1) - Filly stretches out in distance after finishing third in a six furlong sprint at Belmont at this level on June 23rd. Effort was a career best, and trainer Mark Hennig is having a fine year.

5th pick: #5 (Joy Seeker) (15-1) - Freshened up since Jan. 13, filly is working fast for her return, and trainer J.P.Terranova will move her to the grass for the first time. Bred to handle the turf, and she'll be a big price.
