Top pick: #3 (LOVE TRAIN) (2-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Tapit" has been freshened up since an impressive allowance win on this course going 6-furlongs on May 26th. It was her first ever on the grass, first for trainer Chris Clement, and he stretches this promising filly out to a mile this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Lonesome Town) (9=5) - In career best form at present, mare ships up from Monmouth where she finished third in a pair of two-turn grass stakes. Speed/stalker draws the inside post for her local debut and trainer Mike Trombetta has John Velazquez aloft.
3rd pick: #4 (Three Hearts) (4-1) - Team Valor filly hasn't raced since just missing in the rich "Virginia Oaks" (G3) a year ago at Colonial Downs. Working well for her return and she's been sharp "off the bench" in the past.
4th pick: #2 (How) (10-1) - Speedy daughter of "Indian Charlie" makes her grass debut after tiring on the Monmouth dirt on June 14th. She has some talent, is bred for the surface, and her speed makes her dangerous at a big price.
