Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (ROMAN CHIC) - Price-play will stretch out in distance and drop to a new low in price in her second start back off a 9 month layoff. Four-year-old raced evenly in her return sprint and her best race ever came at this distance, on this surface in early Aug. of last year. Daughter of "Roman Ruler" has a fast work 10 days ago and looks all set for her maiden win.

2nd pick: #6 (Getitupforthelady) - English-bred filly hasn't shown much to this point, but she'll stretch out in distance and do so with blinkers off in this spot. Three-year-old has a bullet, 5-furlong breeze here July 18 and that indicates a much better effort could be coming.

3rd pick: #5 (Smil'n From Above) - Lightly-raced filly rallied to finish second at this price and trip at Hollywood Park just two weeks ago. Three-year-old has a bullet work at Santa Anita six days ago and looks all set for a sharp try.

4th pick: #1 (Warren's Genius) - Lightly-raced and improving filly draws the rail and is another who will be stretching out in distance for the first time. Latest July 2 at Hollywood saw her race wide and rally to finish fourth just 3 lengths. Can factor at a big price.
