Top pick: #4 (MY PLACE) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, she finished a pace-chasing second here at this trip for a $20K tag just eight days ago. Claimed that day by Dave Jacobson (25% off the claim) he brings her back quickly, raises her a bit in price, and has her race with 7 lbs. off with apprentice Worrie aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (Daddy Loves Gold) (3-1) - Daughter of "Scat Daddy" goes turf-to-dirt and takes a big drop in class for trainer Bill Mott. Working fast for this attempt and speedy sort should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #7 (How) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, she's another going grass-to-dirt and is taking a big drop. $250K daughter of "Indian Charlie" has won twice on the dirt and draws a nice outside post at this distance. Win candidate from just off the pace.

4th pick: #3 (Once a Week) (6-1) - Un-raced since May 3rd, filly won back-to-back starts this past winter on Aqueduct's inner dirt surface, but raced poorly in her latest before the layoff. Working nicely, her new trainer (Lisa Lewis) drops her into a claimer for the first time.
