Top pick: #7 (DEAREST DIXIE) (8-1) - Price play showed good early speed before tiring when debuting here at this level and distance on June 12th. Filly had a tough rail post that day and the move to the outside could make a big difference. Daughter of "Dixie Union" is in a great second out barn (Jay Servis 30%) and can take this at long odds.
2nd pick: #1 (Lumineuse) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, she chased and tired here sprinting on the grass as the favorite May 17th. race was her first since Nov. 30 and she's worked fast at Saratoga three times since that return run. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Group Therapy) (3-1) - She's finished second in three straight, the last pair coming here on sloppy track. Stalker fits, is in shape, and comes off a career best "figure." Stretch threat.
4th pick: #4 (Light Weight) (12-1) - Longshot runs second off a 5 1/2 month layoff and she's shown good speed in both starts facing tougher. Drops, is working fast, and she's making back-to-back starts for the first time.
