Top pick: #2 (JOINT ATTEMPT) (7-2) - California shipper won her local debut in style on July 19th to clear the 21 condition. It was her first in nine weeks and first for trainer Scott Lake. Can come right back to take another.
2nd pick: #4 (Warning Trackpower) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and speedy, she's going turf-to-dirt and is taking a big drop in class. Daughter of "Candy Ride" has won on the dirt in the past and I could have easily made her the top choice. Only deterrent was her short price.
3rd pick: #5 (Fleet Sixteen) (3-1) - No-speed type drops in price after rallying from far back to win on July 1st when racing for a $25K tag. It earned her a career best figure and she's a threat if the pace is fast and/or contested.
4th pick: #6 (Halo's Gate) (12-1) - Another that's going grass to dirt and she's gone 17-1-6-3 on it in the past. She also would appreciate a contested pace to help her closing style out. Grey mare is 7-1-3-0 on wet tracks.
