Top pick: #7 (ROUSSEAU) (3-1) - Debuting filly has worked eight times since early June, initially at Santa Anita and the last pair on this surface. Bred/owned/ and trained by Mike Mitchell and he has her ready to win first out.
2nd pick: #5 (Tookmebysurprise) (7-2) - Nice effort when she debuted on the Sacramento dirt on July 18th saw her chase a very quick pace and hold to finish second when racing for a $25K tag. Capable barn (Steve MiYadi) brings her back on short notice and her speed makes her dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Thunder Bonnet) (5-2) - Trainer Adam Kitchingman is having a career year and he sends out this debuting filly by "Kafwain" off of some sharp works and she draws the shortest way home. $32K yearling purchase must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Whatsallthedrama) (5-1) - Tommy Town home-bred is from the barn of "Hall of Famer" Jerry Hollendorfer (24% with "firsters"), and when teamed up with Raf Bejarano wins at a 30% rate. Filly has worked three times here in the past 16 days and should be fit for her first public appearance.
