Top pick: #2 (GERWINII) - Filly by "Matty G" was claimed by Brad Cox off a win at Churchill June 12 and is working sharply for her first start for the new connections. Trainer is great off the claim (40%) and this filly is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Valmeni) - Much improved since switching barns (to Mike Stidham) and changing to conventional dirt racing. She defeated a field of males last out and will race today against her own sex. Contender.
3rd pick: #4 (Playntell) - Speed/stalker has won her last pair, both with ease since trainer Tony Dutrow added blinkers. Freshened-up for the past five weeks she's a threat again this afternoon.
