Top pick: #9 (FREEDOM RINGS) - Filly returns for her first race since running as a maiden in the "Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf" at Santa Anita last fall. Strong stretch runner is working well and there's enough speed signed up to help her late running style out.

2nd pick: #1 (Mythical Yarn) - Daughter of "Johannesburg" impressed in her debut at Belmont on June 28th. She made a strong bid while racing wide and finished 2nd in a race at 7 furlongs. Looks set for a big try as she goes around two-turns today.

3rd pick: #7 (Big Brownie) - She raced evenly in an "off the turf" race at Belmont going a mile on June 14th. Working fast since, her trainer ( former steeplechase rider Peter Pugh) add blinkers for this.

4th pick: #5 (Cap the Thunder) - Well-bet in all three starts daughter of "Thunderello" showed good speed last out in what was her first grass appearance. Threat on the front-end.
