Top pick: #4 (PINK FREUD LIVE) (2-1) - With the late scratch of #2 'Animal Appeal,' this filly becomes the horse to beat. Speed/stalker is racing first off a Joe Sharp claim (a strong 30% winning angle) and is getting both the addition of Lasix and blinkers. She's been competitive in all three starts this year and meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #1 (I Dream of Candy) (4-1) - $140K purchase raced evenly when finishing 4th of 11, beaten 10 1/2 lengths when debuting at Churchill Downs June 20. Race was scheduled for the turf, but was switched to the main track. She's working well since for a top Midwestern barn (Bret Calhoun). The main danger.
3rd pick: #7 (Hush Now) (5-1) - Home bred is racing third off a 6 1/2 month layoff. Filly tired last out at Belmont going 8.5-furlongs and is cutting back in distance. Daughter of 'Flatter' should be competitive in this spot.
4th pick: #5 (Sing for Beauty) (10-1) - She has some early speed and will be racing on the grass for the first time. Home bred is working fast locally, and most by 'Songandaprayer' can handle the turf. Price play in the exactas.
