Top pick: #6 (CHA CHA FOR NOW) - She broke slowly in her local debut and rallied mildly to finish fourth at this level and distance. Filly by "Purge" is in the fine barn of Bob Johnston, has a solid overall record (14-3-4-0) and can run these down late with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #10 (Tequila) - Consistent mare likes this surface (8-2-1-3), has a stalking style, last out came up a 1/2 length short racing at this level and distance. Ontario-bred draws a good post and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (La Francisca) - Daughter of "Bwana Charlie" went wire-to-wire here at this price on a muddy track Sept. 5 to gaet her third win, then tired last out to finish fourth in her first at this 4l condition. Speedy filly will take them as far as she can.
