Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (SWITCH) - The probable favorite gave the immensely talented Blind Luck all she could handle in the G1 Vanity at Hollywood June 18. She rallied with that rival around the far turn and was beaten a 1/2 length on the wire. Working fast locally and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Freedom Star) - Allowed to set slow fractions last out, this speedy filly won the $100K Iowa Distaff at Prairie Meadows June 24 in her first back off a 15 month layoff. Has the rail, the best early speed, and she's dangerous again on the front end.

3rd pick: #7 (Ellafitz) - Improving filly by "Tiznow" races as an uncoupled barn-mate of "Freedom" as both are trained by Bob Baffert. Also has speed to use and is working very fast on the local main-track. Price play.
