Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (WINTER MEMORIES) - Tremendously talented daughter of the late "El Prado" would be undefeated but for some poor racing luck ( and a questionable ride) when she finished 2nd last Nov in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G2) to today's rival "More Than Real". She's won both starts this year, a G3 at Keeneland and a G2 at Belmont on May 30. Working fast for this and grey filly is one of two entered who broke their maidens here last year. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (More Than Real) - As mentioned above she handed "Memories" her only defeat of her career last fall at Churchill. This filly owned by Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay was sent to England in June for a go in the Group 1 Coronation S., but was never involved at any point. Training fine sine returning, she's the other filly with a win on this course. Can fator with her best and she's one of two running for the Pletcher barn and they'll race uncoupled.

3rd pick: #2 (Sunlight Sonata) - Filly comes from the same barn as "Winter" and the two Jimmy Toner fillies will race uncoupled. Has some speed, is lightly raced, and is working fast for this.
