Top pick: #4 (UNRIVALED BELLE) - Very lightly raced (4-3-1-0) and very talented. Daughter of "Unbridled's Song" keeps getting better and she brings some solid speed/stalking ability. Has the best last race and continues to train in fast fashion. She gets a big class test this afternoon, but believe she's up to the task.
2nd pick: #3 (Milwaukee Belle) - Canadian-bred has had a great season (8-2-4-2) and almost beat colts in both the "Queens Plate" and the "Prince of Wales" stakes, 2/3rds of the Canada's triple crown. Synthetics specialist has finished second in both of her starts on conventional dirt. She would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #8 (Stardom Bound) - She hasn't raced since early April and this will be her first start for the Richard Dutrow barn (trainer of record is Juan Rodriquez). Filly cost $5,700,000 early in her two-year-old season and has won five Grade 1 stakes. This will be her first race ever on conventional dirt. Working well and remember it's the Dutrow barn. Contender.
