Top pick: #5 (MY MISS AURELIA) - She was very impressive when winning her debut here July 22 and did so by tracking early, swinging out turning for home, and drove clear late to win in very fast time for the 5 1/2 furlong distance(1:03.40). Trainer Steve Asmussen has given this $550,000 filly by "Smart Strike" a pair of sharp works since and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Funny Proposition) - Filly went wire-to-wire when winning her debut at Churchill July 4 and trainer Mark Casse has had her drill three times locally, including a 5-furlong bullet breeze July 29. Her speed makes her dangerous.
