Top pick: #5 (MISSED COUNT) (9-5) - Lightly-raced filly ships from Gulfstream in shape and makes her first start for leading trainer Dave Jacobson (a 29% winning angle). Speedy sort ran second in Florida last out at this level and looks all set in her New York debut.
2nd pick: #2 (Evasive Cat) (3-1) - Consistent sort has early speed and last out tired to finish fourth after being involved in a pace-duel. Win candidate should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Violet Hour) (12-1) - Kentucky-bred went 3-1-0-1 this past summer in Ireland and will be racing for the first time since July 10th. Daughter of "Elusive Quality" has a new trainer (Chris Clement 22% with new arrivals) and he has her working fast for her first on the dirt.
