Ria Antonia (Rockport Harbor): 4th in her last two races, Locust Grove and Monmouth Oaks. Sadly it looks like she is looking more of a fluke with every passing race.

Got Lucky (A.P. Indy): 5th in the Alabama and won an allowance race. Had shown promise earlier this year.

Molly Morgan (Ghostzapper): 2nd in the Locust Grove and won the Gardenia. 2nd in lone start at Keeneland, but that was on turf.

Picks

Win- Close Hatches
Place- Don't Tell Sophia
Show- Shuruq
