Top pick: #3 (CACTUS HOUSE) - Lightly-raced filly drops and makes back to back starts for the first time in her career. Claimed by Doug O'Neill June 11 for $30K filly chased and tired here facing tougher July 31 and also broke through the gate before the start. Has a fine drill since and 3-year-old is the mian speed of this group. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (March Mary) - Scratched yesterday out of a two-turn contest on the grass, filly was claimed in late May at Churchill by trainer Mike Mitchell and will run today off a 2 1/2 month layoff and on a synthetic surface for the first time. Mitchell wins at a 37% rate first off theclaim. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (The Great Atlantic) - Filly by "Stormy Atlantic" shortens-up in distance and goes turf to "poly" this afternoon in her second off a Carava claim. Capable, and a stretch threat.
