Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (RISKY RACHEL) - Speed/stalker is one of three entered who has won here in the past. Very consistent mare has been nicely managed her entire career and has not been over-raced. 5-year-old daughter of "Limehouse" comes into this in shape and is one for one at this 7-furlong distance. She draws outside of the main speed and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Lady on the Run) - Another who has been beautifully managed by the small but competent barn of John Morrison. Strong finisher ships back from Finger Lakes where she was a winner of a $50K stakes and did so at a distance (6 furlongs) that was not her best. In shape, the trip is fine, and she's a win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Beautiful But Blue) - She's won four of her last five, including a pair of stakes with her only loss coming when she tried the tirf for the first (and probably last time). She comes off a career best and it came at this distance June 24th at Belmont. Contender.
