Top pick: #4 (SHE'S NOT HERE) (7-2) - Nicely bred filly just failed with a strong late rally on the Keeneland turf on May 18th. A career best it came off a 100 day layoff and anything near that effort beats these.
2nd pick: #8 (Kitten's Approach) (3-1) - Augustin home-bred has finished second in two straight here at this level and appears to be nearing her best. She's worked well twice since her latest on June 4th and she races for a strong rider/trainer (Pino/Sheppard) combo.
3rd pick: #6 (So Festive) (6-1) - Home bred ships back from Delaware where she tired badly on a sloppy surface in an "off the turf" contest. She ran much better in her previous pair and is a threat with her best.
4th pick: #1 (Etna's Anger) (5-1) - Speedy filly has the rail and comes off a solid effort here at this level and distance on May 25th. It was her first off an eight week break and first on a "poly" surface. Daughter of "Pulpit" has the rail and her speed must be respected.
