Top pick: #5 (DELIGHTFUL DAWN) (3-1) - Mare was a winner here when facing slightly weaker on June 26th in her first off a Dave Jacobson claim. Stalker is 3-1-1-1 locally and has done well at this distance in the past. Barn has a record setting session going (41 wins), and this 5-year-old can add another to that total.
2nd pick: #6 (Hey Babe) (5-2) - I almost made her the top pick and veteran mare is a strong win candidate. Six-year-old daughter of "Trippi" was a winner here two back in a high-end starter-allowance, then chased and tired to finish fourth here on June 14th. Drops down a bit and stalker draws outside of the speed.
3rd pick: #3 (My Sparky) (4-1) - Lightly-raced mare hasn't seen action since May 2nd when she set the pace before tiring going 8.5 furlongs on the grass. Trainer (George Weaver) has her working nicely and will move her to the dirt and shorten up this 5-year-old in distance.
4th pick: #1 (Lily Lynn) (4-1) - Since coming off a seven week freshening and a trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez, mare has gone 2-1-1-0 and was a winner here just two weeks ago when facing a bit weaker. Can factor, but needs to step it up a bit.
