Top pick: #4 (CAPE GIRL) - Consistent mare drops back in for a tag again after racing in starter-allowance for the past year. The last time this daughter of "Concerto" raced in a claimer it produced an easy win at Delaware Park 13 months ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Speechifying) - Re-claimed three back by Phil Aristone after losing her for one race she's raced well since then in a pair of sprints at this level and woll try a two-turn distance for only the 3rd time in a 36 race career. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Twoformeoneforyou) - West Coast shipper won here June 22nd in her first off a 2 1/2 month layoff and first ever on a real dirt surface. She's had almost a month since that win and has a nice work July 17th. A repeat of her last effort woukd make her tough.
