Top pick: #7 (WICKED DIVA) - Lightly raced and improving daughter of "Jump Start" is in a winning barn (Mike Hushion) comes off a career best at Belmont June 30, and draws a nice outside post as she makes her stakes debut this afternoon. The top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Meese Rocks) - Speed/stalker has provided her hard-working veteran trainer (Ed Barker) with some nice pay days over the past year. She beat a tough fieldf of optional $62K claimers at Monmouth last out in her first off a four month break and is training well locally for this. Tough and a win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Shine Upon) - Daughter of "Congaree" fired a big "bullet" drill on this surface a week ago and looks all set for a big effort in her second back off a four month layoff. Win candidate.
