Top pick: #1 (ICE ON THE SIDE) - Filly runs second back off a Steve Klesaris claim and a subsequent three month layoff. She chased and tired in her return at Philadelphia Park facing tougher and drops under the claimed level in her second back. Has the rail and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Vaporize) - She'll be running off an eight month layoff and in a career soft spot. Filly has a pair of nice works at Aqueduct for trainer Gary Contessa and is a win threat if ready.
3rd pick: #2 (Well Babe) - She finished a pace-chasing second at Belmont June 27 facing fellow New York-brteds running for $15K. Fits at this tag facing "open" claimers and is a contender.
