Top pick: #3 (CLEAR CODE) (5-2) - Mare enters off a pair of wins here following a Dale Capuano, and she earned career back-to-back top "figures" in those two scores. Stalker is taking a big drop in class, but believe that's because this long meet is nearing an end. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Bye Bye Bunting) (3-1) - Stalker has been competitive in two straight facing slightly better. Ontario bred has the rail, drops down, and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Lady Saxony) (4-1) - She rallied to a narrow win here at this tag on July 20, then ran evenly Aug. 24 facing a bit better. Drops back down and one run type should be making up ground late.
4th pick: #4 (Bay's Shoes) (15-1) - Speedy filly drops off a trio of efforts facing a bit tougher that saw her tire during the stretch run. The drop should help, and think she can factor at long odds.
