Top pick: #6 (STARRIFFIC) (3-1) - Grey filly was heavily backed when debuting here on June 11th and after a troubled break she rallied to miss by just under a length. In a winning barn (Scott Gelner) and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Gold Chrome) (5-1) - Win threat moves back in with maidens after an even effort here on July 5th in a $100K state-bred stakes. She just missed in her previous race at this level and is a major player in this spot.

3rd pick: #7 (Sexy Rexy) (12-1) - Nicely bred filly ran evenly following some early traffic issues when debuting here at this level on June 20th. In a winning barn (Brett Brinkman) and daughter of "Valid Expectations" can factor at a big price.

4th pick: #10 (Spirit of a Cat) (6-1) - Filly rallied while wide to finish third when debuting here on a sloppy surface going 4.5-furlongs on June 27th. Can grab a share, but the top pair look very tough in this spot.

5th pick: #1 (Escalady) (6-1) - No-speed type has rallied to finish fourth in both appearances. The rail post and her lack of any speed will limit her to a minor award at best.
