Top pick: #7 (FIRST WHIPPORWILL) (7-2) - With the late scratch of #2 'Magsamelia' that makes this speed/stalkers assignment much easier. Veteran mare rallied to finish third at this level going 6-furlongs June 17 and this 7-year-old may find herself either on the lead or just off of it. The horse to b eat.

2nd pick: #6 (Starship Pleasant) (9-2) - Another veteran mare, she's racing third off a pair of layoffs and it's nice to see her stringing starts together. Six-year-old improved quite a bit in her latest and can factor today with a slight move forward.

3rd pick: #8 (Bargaining Table) (10-1) - She's racing herself back into shape following a 4 1/2 month layoff. Five-year-old has raced evenly in both return efforts, each at this level going a mile. She's cutting back a furlong and draws a cozy outside slot.

4th pick: #1 (Dance With Gio) (8-1) - No-speed type almost always puts in a strong late rally and has a trio of local wins on her resume. Monmouth shipper is rounding to form following a 4 1/2 month break and is a stretch threat in this spot.
