PP Horse A/S M/E Wgt Jockey Trainer
1 Frivolous 5 M L 118 Court Jon Kenton Oliver Victoria H.
2 America 4 F L 113 Alvarado Junior Mott William I.
3 Fortune Pearl 4 F L 114 McCarthy Trevor Motion H. Graham
4 Flashy American 6 M 117 Prado Edgar S. McPeek Kenneth G.
5 Sheer Drama 5 M L 118 Bravo Joe Fawkes David
6 Rosalind 4 F L 117 Rosario Joel Brown Chad C.
7 Joint Return 4 F L 116 Carmouche Kendrick Servis John C.

Frivoulous is the favorite. Not 100% sure Sheer Drama wants to go a mile and a quarter. Rosalind didn't do too badly on her dirt return. I really like Joint Return here with Fortune Pearl giving her fits. America has a chance as well and I adore Flashy American, but like Sheer Drama don't think this is the best distance for her.

Picks

Win- Joint Return
Place- Fortune Pearl
Show- America
