Top pick: #2 (HOTSPUR HARRIET) (2-1) - Long time maiden has gone 13-0-2-7 overall and has finished third in both local appearances. One-run type breaks just off the rail, meets a weak field, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Don't Give Way) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, she's finished second in her last pair after setting the pace until mid-stretch. Improving Arkie-bred is a threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #8 (Marea Roja) (5-2) - Improving filly has early speed and is dropping to a new low racing third back from a two month break. She's coming around and had a sharp half-mile breeze here on July 17th.
4th pick: #1 (Honorable Jan) (6-1) - She's well bred, lightly raced, and will be going turf to "poly," dropping way down in class, and cutting back in distance. Has the rail and the high percentage Mario Pino is aboard.
