Top pick: #2 (QUEEN NINE) - She didn't break all that sharply in her latest and after rushing up near the lead she tired down the stretch. Effort came first off a Charlie Baker claim, a seven week freshening, and he brings her back quickly, moves her from turf to dirt, and drops her below the purchase price.
2nd pick: #3 (Perfectly Anna) - Debuting daughter of "Pleasantly Perfect" is in a good first out barn (Wesley Ward 21%) and has some sharp works showing. Filly is bred for more distance, but meets a weak overall group this afternoon.
