Top pick: #4 (YANK'S DIVA) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly is clearly improving and last out finished fourth here facing tougher. It was her first off a seven week break and a top outfit (Bret Calhoun) drops her way down in class for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Kittywithalilsalt) (8-1) - Price play stalked, bid, and held down the show spot racing here at this level and distance June 6. It was her first off a pair of lengthy layoffs and her best since April of 2014. She's worked fast since and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Irish Salute) (5-1) - She's the main speed and breaks closest to the rail in this 5-furlong sprint. Dangerous from on, or just off the pace if another filly is gunned to the top.
4th pick: #12 (Sithechristmas Elf) (6-1) - She draws a very tough post in this abbreviated sprint. Filly finished a pace-setting second here at this level and distance June 18. A career best, she can factor if able to avoid a wide journey from this marooned slot in the gate.
