Top pick: #3 (SERENE SOPHIA) - Debuting daughter is a very expensive Cal-bred as daughter of "Giant's Causeway" went for $325,000 at auction. Working very fast for the Baffert barn and Martin Garcia is aloft. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Weneedtogeteven) - Filly was bet down to favoritism in her debut, but broke slowly and raced wide before rallying to finish third. She was back to the gate for a nice drill July 24 and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Giveme Onereason) - Speedy filly has several good efforts facing "open" foes and runs in a second off a long layoff situation. She's had a month off since finishing an even fourth in her return and and has a nice work at Hollywood August 5. Win candidate.
