Top pick: #3 (LOVE LIKE OURS) - Very speedy filly has been facing much tougher since breaking her maiden this past April at Tampa Bay Downs. Trainer Leigh Delacour will drop her into a claimer for the first time and also switch her from turf to dirt. Three-year-old has a bullet work six days ago at the Fair Hill Training Center and should be able to beat this crew.
2nd pick: #1 (The Lion's Quest) - Drops down slightly after an even effort July 30 facing a bit tougher. four-year-old was brought back quickly for this, draws the rail, and has a bit of early speed. Should contend this afternoon.
3rd pick: #4 (She's a Pistol) - Nice effort June 1 saw her run second at this 2L condition racing for $7500. Barn has raced her against tougher on the grass since then, and will drop her back down and move her to the dirt. Should run well in this spot.
