Top pick: #6 (KLEA) - Stalker finished second at Churchill last out at this tag in her second back off a two month layoff. Trainer Carl Nafzger adds blinkers for this and fill should have a fast/contested pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #3 (My Mancita) - $220,000 daughter of "Mr. Greeley" chased a fast pace from a tough post in her debut and drops into a claimer and has a better draw this afternoon. Win candidate at a nice price.
3rd pick: #5 (Sure as Gold) - Filly by "Touch Gold" cost $320,000 and races in a claimer for the first time as she returns from a 6 1/2 month layoff. Working o.k. and it's the Pletcher barn. Win threat, but at a short price.
4th pick: #4 (Hear Our Prayer) - Another dropping into a claimer and she'll also move fdrom the turf to the dirt. Filly races for a good outfit (Mike Trombetta) and is an exotics factor.
