Top pick: #8 (LILY POND) (3-1) - The probable favorite, filly missed by a 'neck' in her heavily bet debut July 2 at Los Alamitos. She's worked three times since and can take this with minimal improvement.
2nd pick: #6 (I'll Show Me) (6-1) - She cost $1,300,000 as a Keeneland sales yearling back in Sep of 2013. Un-raced for a year, filly ran evenly when debuting back then at Saratoga. Working steadily and she runs off a private trainer change to Ron Ellis. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Explicable) (7-2) - Speedy sort has gone 3-0-1-1 racing on the dirt. Freshened up since June 20, 4-year-old finished third that day at Santa Anita. Working steadily since, she has the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #13 (Fashioned Gem) (15-1) - Long shot ran evenly when debuting on June 7 going down the hill on the Santa Anita turf. She had some early traffic issues that day and is working nicely for this attempt. Can factor at a big price.
5th pick: #2 (Sturdy One) (6-1) - She rallied to finish a close-up third last out and was only a 'neck' behind 'Lily Pod.' In this big field she needs to work out a trip without any traffic issues. A late threat if that's the case.
