Top pick: #5 (LOVE STANZA CHANCE) - Much improved of late and this filly by "Unbridled's Song" comes off a pair of sharp tries at this level since breaking her maiden at Belmont in early July. Gets to go two-turns again today and her best ever came at saratoga under a similar scenario. Grey 3-year-old wins this if she avoida any traffic in a full field (12).
2nd pick: #1 (Aptphilly) - She's won two of her last three, has a speed/stalkntg style, and draws the inside post. Home-bred by "Aptitude" has a pair of excellent works showing as she prepares to run for the first time since Sept. 25. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Earnings Release) - Lightly-raced and improving, daughter of the grass stallion "El Prado" faces winners for the first time after an easy win at Belmont Oct. 2 in a contest that was switched to the main track. Strong finisher is a win threat if she avoids a wide trip.
4th pick: #8 (Strikealinethruit) - Strong finisher won "going away" at Belmont last out to get her maiden win and takes the next logical step. Very consistent all year and she's a major force down the lane.
