​

PICK: 7 EPIC STYLE
She really hasn’t run a bad race sprinting on the turf. She has 6 turf sprints so far. She’s got a win and 5 of the 6 in the money. The only miss was a 4th place finish against FG opt clm three back when beaten less than two. Winner of the last start had won a G3 sprinting on the turf at SAR in the start 3 races earlier.  Jose Ortiz gets the mount today.

​

VALUE: 8 GIFT OF GAB
Won her last start of 2025 and then returned to win on the class drop here about 3 weeks ago. This is a 7YO mare so the connections are not afraid to run her where she can be competitive. She is 6 for 17 when running for this trainer in the last two years. Rider Toledo is 4 for 9 when he has been aboard. Came with a wide run in the last two and will here.
