Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (EXPOSURE) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly has won two in a row, the latest coming at Los Alamitos July 9. Stalker earned a lofty 'figure' that day and has been working fast since for the Baffert barn. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Gloryzapper) (5-2) - The main danger, she won her debut here July 16. Stalker did so from a difficult outside post and stopped the timer in 1:10.60 for the six furlongs. Lightly raced, promising, and she still has a lot of room for upside.

3rd pick: #3 (Secrterayofsunshine) (9-2) - She's won eight of 15 overall and is seven for 10 on conventional dirt. In shape, she's won at this trip, and is dangerous if the top pair are a bit sub par.

4th pick: #5 (Itz a Saint) (12-1) - A minor player here, mare is racing second back off a long break and shortening up in distance. Can grab a minor award at a big price if a fast and/or contested pace develops.
