Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (CHA CHA LATTE) - She finished 2nd in a solid debut at Hollywood in late June, then ran a close-up and troubled trip here on "opening Day" july 20th. Daughter of "After Market" has a fine maintenance work since and goes an extra furlong in this spot. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Dreamcaster) - Another expensive ($250K) and well-bred runner from the Baffert barn that's working fast and has stable rider Marty Garcia aboard. The works are very fast, she's the probable favorite, and would be no surprise

3rd pick: #8 (Bluegrass Story) - Nice debut saw her beaten a 1/2 length at Hollywood on May 22nd, then she raced evenly while wide at the same track 5 weeks later. She has 5 published drills since and this 6 furlong trip should suit her fine.

4th pick: #1 (Charm the Maker) - Home-bred by "Empire Maker" is from the McAnally barn, is working nicely, has the rail, and "P.Val" aloft for her first start.
