Top pick: #8 (SPIRIT SEEKER) - Very consistent mare (26-8-6-1) and all eight of her career wins have come on real dirt. She went wire-to-wire here racing for half this price, but has beaten better in the past and that victory two weeks ago was her best effort since the spring of 2010. The choice to take another.
2nd pick: #1 (Izshelegal) - Grey filly goes turf-to-dirt and stretches-out a bit in distance. She's only raced once before on real dirt and that came a year ago in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) when she was outrun. Working fast locally for this and she can impact at a nice price.
3rd pick: #10 (Ambitioness) - Races first off a Bob Diodoro claim and that day she ran a career best when finishing second racing for $32K in a contest that was switched off the turf. Stretches-out and is a win candidate.
