Top pick: #2 (SAYTHREEHAILMARY'S) (2-1) - Very lightly-raced daughter of "Repent" finished third here at this level and distance on June 4th in her first facing winners. She received a rather poor ride that afternoon and did well under the circumstances. Working fine over the past five weeks and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Easy Living) (7-2) - Another that's lightly raced, she broke her maiden here at this distance on May 2nd. $170K yearling by "Big Brown" She followed that up with a pace-setting fourth-place finish at this level when racing on the grass on June 12th. Barn (Chris Clement) moves her back to the dirt and she's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Devious Maddy) (5-2) - Since late January this 4-year-old filly has gone 6-1-3-1 and broke her maiden here going 8.5-furlongs on June 13th. It was her first start outside of Florida and first off a trainer change to Linda Rice. Stalker must he left in the mix in her first facing winners.
4th pick: #5 (Daddy;s Lil Saint) (8-1) - Home bred by "Scat Daddy" tired badly last out at this level in a 6-furlong grass contest. It was her first off a 7-week freshening and trainer Bruce Levine moves her back to the dirt and stretches her out in distance.
