Top pick: #8 (JUNOON) - Runs off a May 20th layoff and this home-bred daughter of "Street Sense" was competitive in both starts during the spring. Workink fine for her return and trainer Chad Brown wins at a 23% rate off of long layoffs.
2nd pick: #2 (Flirtatious Spring) - Improving filly by "Freud" raced evenly at Belmont going 7 furlongs at this level on July 6th and trainer Linda Rice will stretch-out this 4yo around two-turns for the first time. Has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Yes It's Pink) - Well-bet in her debut, she rallied to finish 3rd in the same July 6th contest at Belmont as "Spring". Stretches-out today for a great grass barn (Chris Clement) and is in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Mighty Reward) - She raced poorly on June 14th at Belmont so trainer Mark Shuman has freshened her up for the past 8 weeks. Longshot had been competitive in her previous pair and can impact today at a square price.
