Top pick: #11 (WAR EXCESS) - Working nicely for her first start since last Sept. when she finished fourth in an $89K stakes on the Fairplex dirt Sept. 17. Speedy sort ran well here last year facing tougher and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #13 (Not Kidding Around) - Drops down and goes turf to "poly" for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. She's taken some money in each appearance and should be competitive on the class reduction.
3rd pick: #12 (Lauren's Lady) - Speedy filly "doubles up" in price after finishing a pace-setting second racing for $20K at Hollywood Bark June 23rd. She'll race without blinkers for the first time and that may help her relax more.
4th pick: #2 (Vonn Nez) - She drops into a claimer for the first time and trainer Eric Kruljac will drop her into a claimer, moves her from turf to the "poly", and shortens her up in distance.
