Top pick: #5 (MAXIMOVA) (2-1) - Undefeated (two for two) filly takes a big step up in seeking her third straight. Daughter of top European stallion "Danehill Dancer" has looked beaten during the stretch run of her first two starts, but showed a lot of determination in getting the job done. I believe this 1 1/8th mile distance is "right up her alley".
2nd pick: #2 (With Sugar On Top) (5-1) - Price play has won two of three on the grass, and has the best early speed of this field. Darley home-bred by "Unbridled's Song" breaks from the rail, and is a threat to go "all the way."
3rd pick: #3 (Caroline Thomas) (7-2) - Daughter of "Giant's Causeway" looked a bit disinterested last out in the G2 "Sands Point", but did improve a bit late. Race was her first in 80 days, and she may have needed the effort.
4th pick: #4 (Magnificent Shirl) (5-1) - Stakes placed in California, she fits on "figures" and has more natural speed than most. Filly is working nicely on the Saratoga training track, and can factor at a square price.
