Top pick: #2 (YO KARAKORUM) - Very speedy filly drops into a career soft spot and she should have little trouble getting to the rail. She finished a close-up 4th last out facing better and will be tough today on the front-end.
2nd pick: #7 (Sneaky Girl) - Off "slowly" last out she was never involved facing much tougher. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez drops her way down and gives a leg-up to Dominguez, who was aboard in her win at Belmont Oct.20. Trainer/jockey combo is a strong one (40%) and this veteran mare has a superior wet track slate (11-3-5-1). Big factor.
3rd pick: #5 (Diva in Training) - Trainer Tim Ice has done a fine job this year in New York from very limited opportunities. This filly won at this price last out fresh off a claim and is a late threat again this afternoon.
