(# 7) SARAH SUNSHINE - Filly was progressing nicely and her figures were headed in the right direction when trainer Del Carroll put blinkers on her last out. A complete disaster ensued, so they are removed probably forever. She's rebounded with a series of three works, highlighted by a bullet on June 27. Cuts-back to a middle distance and faces the usual weak crew at the level. Looking for a big try.

(# 12) Carrs and Stripes - She moves to the best post for her style and this distance. Had the rail last out at seven furlongs - a very tricky place to be regardless of the surface. Fits on numbers and has beaten many of these in the past. I just wish her figure would go forward just a tad. Still, she's a very logical selection.

(# 5) Patti Tiff - Makes what is essentially her third try of the season, as second of the year is a toss because her saddle slipped. Had some promise at one time, but she never moved forward after mid 2006. Should offer her best shot today. Johnny V. is riding for his father-in-law (Leo O'Brien).

(# 's 2 and 9) Luna Laura and Greeley's Girl - Either could make the exacta in this poor field. They both are improving slightly.
