Top pick: #1 (FEATHERINTHEBREEZE) - Grey filly tired in her local debut nine days ago sprinting against special weights. Illinois-bred is brought back quickly, drops down in class, draws the rail, and leading rider Deshawn Parker is aloft. Lots of things to like.
2nd pick: #6 (OH MI GOSH) - Veteran mare has raced 14 times against special weights and trainer Chuck Lloyd will drop her into a claimer for the first time. No-speed type will be finishing fast and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Ann Flower) - She raced both wide and evenly last out on a sloppy track after starting from a tough outside post and draws a much more favorable post today. Can factor, but Parker abandons her after being on her for three straight.
