Top pick: #6 (MS. SYLVIA A.) (3-1) - "Sylvia" rallied to finish second to a sharp looking winner racing at this level and distance at Belmont Sept. 17. Solid effort came in her first since May 31st and she's worked fast since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (My Girl Madison) (7-2) - With the late scratch of #1 "Daddy's Little Saint," this speedy daughter of "Forestry" is breaking from the rail. She set a pressured pace in the same Sept. 17 Belmont contest as "Sylvia" and held well to finish third, 1 1/2 lengths back of that rival. She's a threat to go wire-to-wire.
3rd pick: #4 (Court Dancer) (8-1) - Blinkers go on this daughter of "War Chant" who is racing for only the second time since last December. Her works are solid and this 3-year-old showed talent during her 2013 campaign. Stalker may grab a share at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Saythreehailmary's) (8-1) - Freshened up since late August, home bred by "Repent" is working fast for her return. She's shown enough talent in the past to be a factor if ready, and at long odds.
