Top pick: #2 (SIREN SERENADE ) - Beautifull-bred filly finished a strong second at Belmont on July 1 and looks on the verge of her maiden win. Barn (Shug McGaughey) is cold, but they'll get some winners here before long. Daughter of "Unbridled's Song" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Catigo) - Retursn to his country of birth and daughter of "Giant's Causeway" will race for only the second time in her career. $1,500,000 yearling finished 7 of 15 vs. a field of males in her debut at Newmarket in England last October. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Choice Play) - Daughter of "Vindication" has finished second or third in 8 of 12 starts at various distance on both dirt and "poly." Tries the turf for the first time and may do well at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Corporate Star) - Interesting runner was off slowly in her debut and has a big local work on August 12. Veteran Maryland trainer (Paul Fout) has struck here before and Garcia's presence adds to the intrigue.
