Top pick: #8 (ALWAYSINMYDREAMS) - Speedy filly went wire-to-wire sprinting at Belmont to break her maiden Sep. 12th, then tired on the turf facing $25K opposition in her first facing winners. Drops, goes turf to dirt, and she's the main-speed. The horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Shaker Lakes) - Recent maiden winner has run well in all three starts since she was claimed by Gary Contessa at Saratoga for $20K. Stalker stretches-out in distance and is conservatively spotted in her first facing winners. Contends again today.
3rd pick: #9 (Lady Valiant) - The last time this grey fill raced on this surface she finished 2nd last April running for $15K vs. fellow state-breds. Takes a big drop today and goes turf to dirt. Post is fine and think she'll run well at a nice price.
