Top pick: #4 (SILVER CRUSH) (9-2) - Veteran is racing third back off a 2 1/2 month layoff and is dropping down to this $5K tag for the first time. She caught a sloppy surface last out and was never involved. Grey mare can take this with her best.
2nd pick: #3 (Pink Hero) (8-5) - Clearly the main speed, old-timer will be trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Eight-year-old has gone 19-3-3-4 when sprinting here and is very dangerous in this spot. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (El Oh El A) (5-2) - Mare rallied to finish third here at this level going 7-furlongs on May 19th. Good effort was her first start since late October and trainer Ron Dandy stretches her out to a distance she's run well at in the past 7-1-2-2. In the small win mix.
