Top pick: #3 (PALACE DREAMS) (3-1) - Very lightly raced, home-bred filly by "Freud" has been sharp in all three starts and comes into this off a pair of wins, the latest coming here when facing state-bred allowance foes on July 20. She's the only one entered with a win on this surface and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Adriatic Dream) (5-1) - Strong finisher rallied to finish second last out in a $100K stakes at Belmont on July 4th. She always puts in a late run, draws the ground saving rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Image of Noon ) (5-1) - Speed/stalker stretches out after going 3-2-1-0 at Belmont after coming off a six month layoff in late May. Home-bred is still improving and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #7 (Frosty Bay) - Daughter of "Frost Giant" became a stakes winner at Belmont on Jun30th and is now 6-2-1-1 when racing on the grass. Filly is working well locally, and when winning her latest defeated "Image" by a length.
