1
 Spirit Woman  Hunterman Stable  Hernandez B J Jr      6/1 121

Back to back wins and has been sharp pretty much the entire year, hitting the board in six of eight starts.  Four of those have been wins, and that win at today’s distance in her most recent shows that she can run all day.  The three pounds have proven to be handy as these 3yo’s are taking on older horses, so I’d give her a big look despite this being her first black-type try.

2
 Copper Piping  Diablo Diablo  Mena M    2/1 124

Has been very solid this season, hitting the board in four of five starts with the only off the board start coming v. GI foes in the Beverly D (GI).  She won at this distance over in NJ and was third in graded horses in her most recent start.  She is a nice horse and has to be considered for the top spot.

3
 Golden Gates  Team 7 Illusions  Borel C H      2/1 124

Nice states win at DMR last out where she got a big lead and stayed on gamely to the wire.  She has two route wins from her six seasonal starts and a pair of runner-up finishes to go with those wins.  I’m not sure if she loves the distance, but she certainly has the ability to get the job done here.

4
 Family Myth  Barcelona Farms  Bravo J      3/1 121

She smoked an Alw group at RP in her most recent and that was at today’s distance.  She’s been on the board in five of eight starts and has been solid as a rock since changing hands via hostile takeover for a mere $6.250.  The pace will be very interesting between her and the three.
