Top pick: #7 (NOT A LOVE SONG) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, she makes her way here from Santa Anita following a private sale within the past two months. Speedy daughter of "Langfuhr" has a new trainer (Keith Nations) and he has this 3yo training sharply for her local debut. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Winning Saga) (3-1) - She enters off a career best when she missed by a 1/2 length racing against special weights at Penn National on June 20. Speed/stalker drops to a new low this afternoon and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #5 (Cinnamonjellybean) (4-1) - Another that has early speed and is dropping into a career soft spot. Daughter of "Candy Ride" tired last out after rushing up following a slow start and had finished 2nd racing for twice this price in her previous race.
4th pick: #8 (Potiche) (8-1) - Lightly raced filly by "Dixie Union" ships up from Calder where she ran 2nd facing weaker on June 21. Home-bred moves to the high percentage barn of Ramon Preciado and can factor, but needs to improve significantly to win this.
