Top pick: #7 (ROSA GRACE) - Talented import hasn't race on the grass since last summer/fall. At that time she finished second in a stakes at Saratoga (her North American debut), then raced evenly in a strong field at Woodbine in an importanr Grade 1 contest. Working well for this, filly didn't care for the "Poly" surface at Keeneland in her '09 debut. The top choice.
2nd pick: #1a (Opera Heroine) - Makes her seasonal debut a light '08 campaign that saw her go (5-2-1-0). Daughter of "Partner's Hero" likes this surface (4-2-0-1) and has run well off af breaks before. Contender if ready, she's coupled in the wagering with "Wilderness TRace".
3rd pick: #9 (Star Emerald) - She makes her third start off a 100-day layoff and improved in her second back. In a good barn (Mike Matz), filly by "Pulpit" can compete here with her best effort.
