Top pick: #1 (BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT) (3-1) - Lightly raced, she's shown good early speed before weakening in both appearances. Filly has a half-mile bullet work here on June 25th and trainer Bob Troeger has this home-bred making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #4 (Royal Weekend) (8-1) - If "Beautiful Spirit" isn't able to make the lead, this longshot may be the one to deny her that position. She's racing second back off pair of layoffs and trainer Blake Heap has her going back-to-back for the first time since March of 2012. Price play.
3rd pick: #9 (Scary Fast) (5-2) - Harris home-bred showed good early speed when debuting here in late April of 2012 and hasn't raced since. Daughter of "Congaree" is working steadily for her retun to action and is dropped into a claimer off the 14 month layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Margies Rule) (6-1) - Daughter of "tribal Rule" tends to rac evenly and is shipping back from Golden Gate Fields where she finished fourth at this tag. Can factor, but needs to do better during the stretch run.
