Top pick: #6 (TWO STEP FLOR) (5-2) - Filly has a speed/stalking style and draws a nice outside post at this trip to use it from. She's 3-for-8 on conventional dirt, has some back class, and finished second here to today's rival 'Always a Chance' for a $16K tag July 16. Four-year-old races first off a John Martin claim (a 30% winning angle) and think she can reverse that last decision in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Always a Chance) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, veteran mare rallied to win by 3-lengths here July 16. 6-year-old defeated 'Two Step Flor' that afternoon and was claimed by Adam Kitchingman for $16K. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Swissrella) (5-1) - Another veteran, filly is racing first off a Ron Ellis claim (19%) and a two month freshening. He has her working both steadily and on the quick side for her return. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Avicii) (7-2) - Midwest invader runs off a positive trainer change to Phil D'Amato (20% with new stock). Stalker has been freshened up since June 11 and is taking a big drop in class. Can factor with her best if ready.
