Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (MARTINI MIXER) - One of a pair entered that have won two races. Filly was claimed last out by Peter Miller for $20,000. Raises slightly in price and comes back in 17 days. New barn is having a solid meet (7 for 27) and is sharp off of claims (21%). The top pick.

2nd pick: #7 (Crystal Empire R N ) - Drops in half, runs second back off a seven-week break, shortens-up in distance and goes turf to poly. All of those categories are good ones statistically for the barn (Kathy Walsh).

3rd pick: #6 (Worth the Fight) - Drops after breaking slowly in her first vs. winners. She has a superior work on this surface July 31 and is in a good barn (Brian Koriner). Contender.
