Top pick: #1 (KEEP BUSTIN) (3-1) - Consistent home-bred has been freshened up since June 19 when she ran third at Belmont going a mile. Stalker draws the rail, has a clear speed to track, and can take this with a "clean" trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Golden Galaxy) (5-1) - She's the main speed every time she runs and has been freshened up since June 13th when she was claimed at Belmont for $35K by Linda rice. Filly tired badly that day, but she broke through before the start and seemed exceedingly nervous. Win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #5 (Discreet Force) (7-2) - Undefeated (2-for-2) home-bred has shown a lot of "grit" in both wins and is working fast locally for her first since June 23rd. The Galluscio barn is having a strong meet (five wins to date), and this 3-year-old must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Lenders Way) (6-1) - She's racing back into shape following a 6 1/2 month layoff and stalker likes this particular distance (4-1-0-2). Price play!
5th pick: #10 (Newbie) (6-1) - Well-bred filly has some early speed, draws a nice outside post, and is cutting back a bit in distance.
