Top pick: #3 (CHAULK O LATTEY) (7-2) - Lightly raced 4yo moves up a bit in class after a 3rd place finish at this distance June 25 at Santa Anita. Speed/stalker is in career best form, is still improving, and her flexible style in this large field is a plus.
2nd pick: #1 (Tiz a Kiss) (6-1) - Strong finisher is another that's moving up in class. On the sidelines for 11-months, she was in career best form prior to the long layoff. Dangerous if she's ready off the long absence.
3rd pick: #4 (Queen of the Palace) (8-1) - New Zealand import went 8-2-4-1 in her native land and faced males in six of those starts. Working nicely for John Sadler, Lasix is added to this interesting invader.
4th pick: #6 (Warren's Jen Fizz) (4-1) - Grey home bred has been freshened up since May 30. 4yo has gone 9-2-2-0 on the grass and enters off a very quick 5-furlong work July 4. Must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #5 (Taylor Lane) (20-1) - Longshot ships back from Indiana Downs where she broke her maiden going a mile on the grass June 10. She was competitive at Santa Anita when still a maiden and fits with her best.
