Top pick: #2 (COSMIC TALE) (7-2) - The main speed, grey filly finished 4th here in a grass sprint Aug. 10th. She's been competitive going two turns in the past and will be tough on the front end.

2nd pick: #3 (Weekend Hottie) (5-2) - Filly drew a difficult post (12th of 12) here July 24 racing at this level, and she had a very rough trip. Blinkers go on and she draws a much better spot in the gate. Win candidate in today's finale.

3rd pick: #6 (Sugar Mags) (12-1) - Longshot has had major 'trouble' in three of her four turf starts. Very rank here Aug. 3rd, it's a big plus that John Velazquez sees fit to ride her again this afternoon. May be competitive at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Esky) (20-1) - Another longshot, she ran evenly here at this tag and distance Aug. 3rd. She did not break cleanly and moves to the rail. Lightly raced, she's another who could factor a big price.

5th pick: #7 (Confessa) (6-1) - Improving since a trainer change to John Toscano, daughter of 'Repent,' rallied to finish 3rd at this level and distance Aug. 3rd. A career best, and a repeat of it makes her a serious stretch threat.
