Top pick: #6 (BANIMPIRE) - High quality Irish-bred filly has kept only the best of company through-out her career and is (17-7-1-3) overall, with each start coming on the turf. Her Time Form "figures" are excellent, she runs first time for Chad Brown (32%), and will have lasix added. The only question mark is a nine month layoff.
2nd pick: #1 (Aruna) - Wonderful mare is (14-6-3-1) on the grass and a perfect 2-for-2 on this course. She rallied strongly to win the Sheepshead Bay (G2) here on May 26th and that win was one of her best ever. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Hit it Rich) - Grey mare by "Smart Strike" finished second last out to Aruna and is (6-3-2-0) on the turf since last summer at Saratoga. She has a flexible running style and will be in this turning for home.
