Top pick: #2 (MEKONG MELODY) - Mare ships back from Canada after a "troubled" trip in an important G1 stakes. She loves this distance (two- for-two) and has fine positional speed to utilize. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Changing Skies) - Logical contender has really picked-up her game this year and last out was only beaten a "head" in a Grade 1 at Belmont. Probable favorite is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Tarrip) - Lightly-raced filly is in the always dangerous barn of Chris Clement and she draws the inside post. Defeated as the favorite last out at Keeneland by today's rival "Clarinet", that should guarantee a nice price and the margin wasn't all that much.
