Top pick: #2 (MOJITO MINT) - Home-bred takes the big drop out of special weight contests into claimers for the first time and this daughter of "Suave" has been competitive in two of three grass starts facing tougher. Shortens-up to go along with the drop and trainer Kate Feron her spotted for the win.
2nd pick: #10 (Thunder Princess) - The probable favorite finished an even fourth here last out at this price going 6 furlongs. Daughter of "Thunder Gulch" gets an extra furlong to travel this afternoon, draws a nice outside post, and Dominguez is back aboard. Win candidate, and I almost put her on top.
3rd pick: #7 (Blue Sixty Four) - Filly by "Artax" finished second here at this price eight days ago in her second back off a 7-week freshening. Has a flexible style and that last start was her first in blinkers. She's in the small win mix.
