Top pick: #3 (DANCING MY WAY) (3-1) - Speed/stalker is racing second back off a long layoff and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Competitive in three of four facing tougher, she can break her maiden this afternoon on the class reduction.
2nd pick: #8 (Cleverness) (9-2) - Well bred filly raced evenly when debuting here in a 5-furlong grass sprint July 1. $160K daughter of 'Street Sense' moves to the dirt while dropping in class. Think she's set for a competitive effort.
3rd pick: #2 (Ghost of Anapa) (10-1) - Grey filly rated, made a bid, then tired to finish 5th of six, beaten almost 14-lengths when debuting here at this distance facing tougher July 9. Trainer Tony Sano brings her back quickly, drops her down in class, and Prado stays aboard.
4th pick: #6 (Starship Tammy) (8-1) - She has a bit of speed, but her form has been declining since she was claimed for $25K May 1. Also, 3yo seems to prefer the grass over dirt. Believe a minor award is her ceiling.
