Top pick: #3 (JARDENIA) (9-5) - The probable favorite, veteran mare has a strong late kick, and last out came up a bit short when finishing second to today's rival, #1 "Miss Gigi." She's gone 8-4-1-1 so far this year, and can turn the tables on "Gigi" in what looks like a two-horse race on paper.
2nd pick: #1 (Miss Gigi) (2-1) - Speed/stalker has a fine local record (10-3-3-1), and last out rallied to defeat "Jardenia" by a length. In shape, has the rail, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Pure Value) (15-1) - Mare makes her local debut after being claimed in late June at Churchill for $5K. Speed/stalker is working off-site for her return and can grab a minor award if ready.
