Top pick: #1 (UNUSUAL HOTTIE) (2-1) - Her overall grass record is outstanding (13-6-4-2), and she's 3-1-2-0 on this course. Multiple stakes winner missed by a neck here on July 20th in the $100k "Redondo Beach," or she'd have four in a row heading into this.
2nd pick: #2 (Halo Dotty) (5-2) - Her grass mark is 18-9-1-3, and she defeated "Hottie" last year by a 1/2 length when winning this stakes. Stalker is three for four locally, enters in shape, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Bella Viaggia) (4-1) - Very lightly raced filly has yet to run a bad race (6-4-2-0), and is a perfect two for two on the grass. In shape and runs off a career best figure that fits with these if repeatable.
4th pick: #6 (Spring Bloom) (8-1) - Strong finisher moves up in class after a good-looking local victory facing weaker on Aug. 4. Effort came off a two month break, she's worked fast since, and she'll be a big price.
