Top pick: #3 (MELODY LIN) (5-2) - Filly runs first off a Linda Rice claim (21%) and last out she finished a pace-pressing third facing males in an "off the turf" mile running for a $35K tag. New barn brings her back in eight days, moves her up a bit, and has her facing her own sex.
2nd pick: #7 (Faceineveryflower) (9-5) - She finished a solid third when debuting at Belmont for a $65K price on Sept. 3 and trainer Rick Dutrow has her working steadily and will drop her slightly for her first in almost three months.
3rd pick: #4 (Mineshaft Dream) (5-1) - Filly had Dominguez aboard when debuting and also took some betting action. Nice effort saw her race close up and check in fifth of 12, beaten just over three lengths. Trainer Juan Guerrero has freshened her up for six weeks and will stretch her out in distance.
