Top pick: #2 (TIZ FLIRTATIOUS) (7-5) - Lightly raced 5yo mare has gone 6-3-3-0 since switching to the turf, and has been freshened up since late May when she missed by a head in the "Gamely" (G1) at this distance at Santa Anita. Training fine for this, and this his her first step towards the big money events during the fall on the west coast.
2nd pick: #4 (Customer Base) (4-1) - Daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" has stepped up her game lately and comes off a career best when she won a small stakes at Hollywood on July 5th. She's working fast locally since then, and trainer Tom Proctor seems to specialize with turf fillies & mares.
3rd pick: #3 (Lady of Shamrock) (8-5) - Hard-hitter ships back from Belmont where she rallied to finish second in the "New York" stakes (g2) going 10 furlongs on June 29th. Strong finisher is the only one entered with a previous win here, and that came just under a year ago in the (G1) "Del Mar Oaks."
