Top pick: #2 (SHESA BUD GIRL) - Well-bred filly ran her best race of this year last out when she stalked the pace, appeared to be the winner in mid-stretch only to have severe traffic problems at that point. She did not clear until late and had to settle for 4th. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Code Name) - She's been competitive in all four of her starts at and around this claiming price. Filly finished an even 3rd last out in her first ever on the turf and a repeat effort gives her a shot at the win.
