Top pick: #4 (SMART ODDS) - Filly chased the pace while wide last out going 5 furlongs and tired during the stretch run. She gets an extra furlong to work with today and she can relax early and win this late at a nice mutuel.
2nd pick: #7 (Separate Checks) - She cleared the 2l condition here at this price and distance June 12 then tired facing $10,000 opposition in her first at this 3l level. Her barn dropped her down last out and she rallied for the place spot. There's lots of potential pace to chase and that should lead to a shot at the win.
3rd pick: #6 (R U Segura ) - Three-year-old hasn't sprinted since she finished third here at this tag on Opening Day (May 1). She's been showing good speed in longer races since then and is spotted well by a barn (Scott Lake) that's having another great year here (76-24-9-12).
