Top pick: #3 (SKIPPING CLASS) - Filly has improved dramatically since a switch two races back to the barn of Bruce Levine. Finished second last out to a runner who won a dirt race here yesterday. She's been freshened up since that July 5, race and comes back at the same tag. Levine is a strong 35% off of short rests.
2nd pick: #6 (Karakorum Playmate) - Makes her first start for the potent owner/trainer combination of Maggi Moss/Steve Asmussen. Filly has run strongly in her two turf sprints, and that's what she's doing today. Asmussen is a great 28% first off the claim.
3rd pick: #1a (Fiona Freud) - Took her 18 starts to finally break her maiden and she has now won two in a row. Last was very good, and the second place runner won next time out. Experienced and dangerous.
4th pick: #9 (Chauette) - Lightly raced daughter of "Pleasant Tap" has come to hand quickly for trainer Angel Penna Jr. Improving with each race and she's been working up a storm.
