Top pick: #8 (IRISH GARDEN) - Filly comes off a second-place finish last out at this distance and price as she chased an easy wire-to-wire winner who was a heavy favorite. It's her turn this afternoon.
2nd pick: #2 (Eclipticals Whisky) - Runs third back off a 14 month layoff and ran second in her return effort and raced very poorly last out. Pennsylvania-bred has good early speed and is a win candidate if she gets to the front.
3rd pick: #6 (It's a Start) - Mare finished a distant third last out to a good-looking winner and that was her second back off a 5 month layoff. She runs her best on this surface and should be a nice price this afternoon.
