Top pick: #4 (EVENING JEWEL) - Wonderful bargain-priced ($8000) daughter of "Norther Afleet" finished "off the board" in her debut here a year ago and is (10-5-5-0) since winning $700,000 and has run strongly on "poly", turf, and dirt. Only one of two entered win a win on this course and she did it July 25th in the G2 San Clemente. Flexible style is a plus and she's the top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Perfect Shirl) - Daughter of "Perfect Soul" travels cross-country after an impressive win in the G2 "Lake George" at Saratoga. Lightly raced and still improving, she's a strong threat today.
3rd pick: #9 (Crisp ) - She had a "troubled" trip last out in the San Clemente but was less than two lengths off the top pick at the finish. Contends this afternoon.
4th pick: #7 (It Tiz) - She was closing fast after a very wide trip last out and daughter of "Tiznow" has come back with a very fast drill August 15th. Don't just dismiss.
