Top pick: #5 (WHITE ROSE) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and consistent (6-1-3-1), grey filly by "Tapit" ships from Monmouth where she finished a strong second in an entry-level allowance on June 28th. It was her second back from a 80-day freshening and she's worked fast since. The distance isn't a problem and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Concise) (4-1) - English-import kept some good company in her native country and is working nicely for trainer Graham Motion for her first since May 17th. Daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" will race with lasix and Motion does extremely with European imports racing in North America for the first time (10 for 40 {25%}).
3rd pick: #3 (Sabouli) (12-1) - Longshot is also from the Motion barn and the two fillies race uncoupled. Four-year-old has gone 7-2-4-1 this year facing claimers and is moving up in class. In career best shape at present and a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Precarious) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced filly has been freshened up since an impressive maiden win at Belmont on May 15th. This is her "home" track and this promising daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" has plenty of room for upside.
