Top pick: #2 (KISS THE LADY) - Excellent debut saw her chase a swift pace and hold her position until mid-stretch where she weakened slightly to finish 5th of 12, beaten six lengths. She had the 12 post that afternoon and draws a much better starting slot for this attempt. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez wins at a 30% rate 2nd time out and this daughter of "Quiet American" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Visions of Annette) - Debuting daughter of "Distorted Humor" cost $275K and has some sharp works showing on her w a.m. tab. Dominguez is aboard and he wins at a solid 32% clip when riding for trainer Dom Schettino.
3rd pick: #8 (Dulcedumbre) - She received some support at the windows when debuting at Belmont on Oct 8th and finished 4th following a wide trip while coming home even with "Lady". Draws outside of that foe and will need to get involved earlier.
