Top pick: #7 (DETERRENCE) - Filly will race on real dirt for the first time this afternoon. Wide last out in a turf allowance, trainer Ken McPeek moves her to the main-track and drops her into a claimer. Desormeaux stays put and believe she'll run big today.
2nd pick: #3 (Gimmesomeaction) - Blinkers go on this lightly-race filly and believe she was "legged up" last out with this race as her intended target. Good trainer (Mike Trombetta) drops her into a claimer and sends her from turf to the dirt.
3rd pick: #9 (Thewifedoesntknow) - Claimed last out by Edwin Broome he runs her back on rather short notice (three weeks) and at the same price and distance. She finished 5 lengths behind today's rival "Slavic Princess" in her latest, but gets a favorable shift today in post positions.
