Top pick: #1 (WILD GRACE) - She was bet down to favoritism at Saratoga July 21 and she raced evenly after being bumped heavily at the start and being forced to race wide. Daughter of "Forest Wildcat" is working fast, draws the rail, and can take this with an alert getaway.
2nd pick: #4 (Talmadge Hill) - She's one of two fillies entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly-raced filly by "Grand Slam" has early speed and has finished close up in both grass sprints. Barn moves her to the dirt and she's a win candidate if she brings her turf form to the main-track.
3rd pick: #9 (Rock n Cozy) - Grey 4-year-old has finished second in all three of her dirt starts and did so last out at Belmont on a sloppy track on Oct. 3. Training fine since, stalker draws outside of the speed and Dominguez is signed on.
4th pick: #8 (Lumineuse) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and they race uncoupled. Home-bred has finished second in her last pair and was beaten narrowly in each. Filly has a flexible style, is a contender, but will be over-bet.
