Top pick: #6 (PISTOL'S SHOES) (5-1) - Lightly raced Arkansas-bred was a very impressive maiden winner here on June 4. It was her first in almost two months and first on a "poly" surface. By far a career best, and I like her chances this evening.
2nd pick: #1 (Miss Edmund) (7-5) - The probable favorite, speedy filly has been freshened up since April 4 when she tired facing tougher at Pimlico. Working well, the "hot" barn of Dale Capuano drops her down and has her trying a synthetic surface for the first time. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Annatlantic) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner has gone 13-1-6-3 on this surface, and speed/stalker doesn't face a strong field in her first facing winners. Mare by "Stormy Atlantic" can impact at a big price.
