Top pick: #5 (ENDLESS CHATTER) (8-5) - The probable favorite, she rallied into a "soft" pace to finish second when debuting at Monmouth on Sept. 2. Trainer Chad Brown (25% second-time out) has given her time to grow and mature and her last two works have picked it up in intensity.
2nd pick: #3 (Garmentos Girl) (3-1) - On the sidelines since tiring at Saratoga Aug. 19, trainer "Shug" McGaughey has her working nicely, including a bullet half-mile breeze (best of 38) at Belmont on Nov. 4. Daughter of "Indian Charlie" cost $250K and looks set for a competitive effort.
3rd pick: #8 (Secret Union) (5-1) - Debuting filly by the late "Dixie Union" cost Darley $375,000 and was initially prepared at the Godolphin Training Center at Saratoga. Since shippong south she has a sharp near bullet 5-furlong gate drill at Belmont Nov. 23.
