Top pick: #7 (BRONZE BEAUTY) - She showed excellent speed before tiring here racing for twice this price August 3rd. Race was her first in 3 1/2 months and firt for Todd Pletcher. Drops, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Like her chances.
2nd pick: #9 (Wish to Opine) - Runs off a 7 1/2 month break and off a private change to Chad Brown. Filly has speed, is working steadily, and the new barn will drop her into a claimer. The presence of Dominguez says they mean business.
3rd pick: #8 (Irish Wedding) - Runs 2nd off a Rudy Rodriguez claim and he'll cut her back in distance, drop her back down, and add blinkers. She ran evenly here going longer for $50K on August 2nd and is a factor today from off the pace.
