Top pick: #2 (FIFTYSHADESOFGOLD) (8-5) - Rare Texas-bred around here ships from Churchill where she destroyed a large field in the $115k "Debutante" stakes on June 22nd. Undefeated (two for two) and untested, grey filly is working extremely fast on this strip, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Hop the Six) (15-1) - Price play has won two in a row, the latest a small stakes at Delaware Park in her first on real dirt. Capable of stalking, she draws a nice outside post at this 6.5 furlong trip.
3rd pick: #3 (Thank You Marylou) (6-1) - Ramsey owned and Maker trained, filly won a turf stakes sprinting on the Colonial turf when debuting on July 13th. She moves to the main track, and faces a much tougher field.
4th pick: #6 (Charmed Hour) (12-1) - She won her debut, and unlike many entered, did so from just off the pace. Well-bred, in a winning barn (Ken McPeek), and a stretch threat.
