Top pick: #5 (PEGGY JANE) - Excellent debut saw her break well from a tough post (11 of 13), raced wide early before getting over to the rail, and put in a fine late rally to finish second to a 6-length wire-to-wire winner. In a barn (Steve Asmussen) that's always better second time out, and she has a pair of works since that initial effort. Mr. Dominguez climbs aboard for the first time and this daughter of "Kafwain" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Notesfromabroad) - Well-bet when debuting at saratoga in early August, she chased a fast pace on a muddy track and tired to finish third. Working well for her return and this filly can factor today at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Leaping Lady) - Filly exits the same contest as "Jane" and she raced closest early to the lone gone winner and tired in the last furlong to check-in third, 4 lengths back of today's top pick. She should be involved from start to finish.
