Top pick: #2 (PANGBURN) (2-1) - Midwest shipper is stakes place twice and missed by a 'nose' in the rich G3 Iowa Oaks at Prairie Meadows June 27. She followed that up with a disappointing effort July 18 in the G2 Indiana Oaks. Back in with weaker foes, she gets a slight edge with Castellano aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #1 (Fresh Feline) (5-2) - Speedy and dangerous. She won a race here at this level and distance July 30, but was disqualified and placed second. In career best form, daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' has the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Annunity) (10-1) - Another with early speed, daughter of 'Flatter' has spent her entire career on the dirt and has gone 17-3-4-2. Four-year-old has never run on an 'off' track, but is bred to do so. May be competitive at a big price.
