Top pick: #4 (PREDICATE) (6-1) - She's been a competitor since day one and has gone 12-1-5-3 racing on the dirt. Strong finisher just missed here at this level going 6-furlongs July 30th and that ran her local record to 3-0-2-1. She earned a career best figure that afternoon and the extra furlong today is in her favor.
2nd pick: #7 (Eddy Gourmet) (8-1) - Veteran exits the same last race as "Predicate" and she tired late to finish third after opening a clear lead turning into the stretch. Four-year-old was only 1 1/2 lengths back of that rival at the finish and she's a major factor with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #10 (Divided Attention) (3-1) - Darley home bred hasn't senn action since last Nov. when she finished a distant to the talented "Stopchargingmaria" in the G3 "Tempted" stakes at Aqueduct. Daughter of "A.P. Indy" is working nicely, has lasix added, draws a nice outside post, and is a win threat if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Pretty Fancy) (7-2) - Filly is cutting back in distance after a very good effort here at this level going 1 1/8th miles July 23rd. She has talent, is a strong stretch threat, and a fast and/or contested pace would help her chances.
5th pick: #2 (Shayjolie) (4-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Indian Charlie" raced evenly from a very difficult outside post (12th of 12) when making her grass debut here July 19th. She was very sharp in her previous pair on the dirt and has worked four times since her latest.
