Top pick: #1 (SPELLING AGAIN) (2-1) - She's part of an entry with #1a "Pepper Ridge." Augustin home bred has gone 3-1-2-0 so far, and all have come on this surface sprinting. Freshened up since July 2, working well, and she has plenty of room for upside.
2nd pick: #6 (Abou) (4-1) - Speedy filly has finished second in three straight here at this level. Filly is capable of running a :45 half-mile, and she's a win threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #8 (Miss Lauren Ann) (9-2) - Filly broke her maiden here on Sept. 10, and the "figure" earned fits well with this group. Speed/stalker draws a nice post and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #4 (Sweetsoutherndame) (5-1) - Once promising filly has yet to recover her fine 2yo form of 2013. One run type ran well here facing weaker on Aug. 24, but faces a much tougher group this afternoon.
