Top pick: #4 (HOUSE RULES) (9-2) - Always thought of, filly has won two of her last three and in her lone poor effort she was beaten 11 1/2 lengths in the $1M "Cotillion" at Philly park on Sept. 20. She likes the two turn distance and has gone 2-1-1-0 at this demanding trip in the past.
2nd pick: #1a (Snowbell) (4-1) - Speedy daughter of "Tapit" is part of a three horse entry with #1-Penwith and 1x-Divided Attention. Rapidly improving in the second half of this year she has dangerous foot and is bred to enjoy this distance.
3rd pick: #2 (Shay Jolie) (15-1) - She comes with her best most every time and last out she rallied to just miss in a 7-furlong $100K stakes at Laurel. Filly draws a nice ground saving post and should be finishing fast.
4th pick: #6 (Catch My Drift) (5-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Pioneer of the Nile" has been competitive in four of five starts and in her other effort she raced evenly in the $1M "Alabama" stakes (G1). The distance is not a problem and she's been working steadily and above average for trainer Chad Brown.
