Top pick: #8 (ELATED) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly by 'Kitten's Joy' has been competitive in all three appearances. One-run type is racing third back from a 6 1/2 month layoff and trainer Chris Clement has Castellano aboard for the first time. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Forensic) (9-2) - Grey filly has no early speed but has put in good late rallies in most of her starts. Home bred by 'Medaglia d'Oro' has gone 9-0-3-3 on the turf and has finished third in both on the Belmont grass.

3rd pick: #6 (Gigi's Kitten) (6-1) - Un-raced since late October, filly raced both wide and evenly here at this level going 6-furlongs on the grass. Training nicely for her return, trainer Bill Mott adds Lasix and stretches her out in distance.

4th pick: #1 (Wonder Brew) (4-1) - Stronach home bred rallied to miss by a 1/2 length racing here going 7-furlongs at this level June 17. The winner that afternoon came back to run strongly in yesterdays 8th race. She's going second back off an eight week break and is stretching out a bit in distance.
