My pick is Salsa Brava(Ire).
Although I'm not a big fan of J. Sahadi, this filly has some upside. She's a 3 times G2 placed filly over in England as a 2YO, twice carrying 123 lbs, once facing 17 foes. She totes 117 lbs today. She was favored in her last where she ran 4th facing males. Her timeform ratings make her competitive in this field. A lot of times these young gals grow up between their 2yo and 3yo seasons. Her work tab shows signs that she has. The July 6, 7f drill in 1:24 & 1 is a pretty good indication of that. She got aquinted with her surroundings working the course last Sunday too. Of course with Sahahdi, a runner never looks perfect. There's 9 day gaps between workouts for her last two coming in. Still I think with a natural progression & some improvement from her 2yo season to this, her 3yo debut, she should give us a good run for the money.
Salsa Brava to win.
