Top pick: #6 (KACY LAUREN) (3-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. She's finished second in both starts since moving to the grass and was beaten a 'neck' here at this level and distance May 30. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Psychiatry) (7-2) - Well backed last out, she seat a solid pace and held to finish second here at this trip. Lightly-raced, improving, and an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Lady Daphne) (5-1) - The second of the Brown trained fillies, she ran evenly in a well bet debut last August at Saratoga. On the sidelines since, she's training nicely and J.J. Castellano is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #11 (Animal Appeal) (10-1) - Speedy sort moves up in class after finishing a pace-setting second here at this distance for a $40K tag June 17. Nice effort came off an Englehart claim and a 5-month layoff. In the mix.
5th pick: #10 (Bella Joy) (12-1) - She moves off the inside after having to be sent hard last out. May grab a small share at a big price with a less stressful trip.
