Top pick: #3 (SAARLIGHT) - Fast and fresh daughter of "Saarland" has been on the sidelines since mid-July after racing poorly as the favorite in a stakes at Philly Park. Working sharply for her come-backer she has Kiaran McLaughlin's top assistant (Art Magnuson) as the trainer of record while the boss serves a 30 day suspension for a medication violation in Kentucky. Stable jockey Alan Garcia climbs aboard for the first time. The pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Motor City Mama) - Solid runner has improved dramatically since a trainer switch to Finger Lakes champ Chris Englehart's barn this past July. Speed/ stalker runs off a 70-day break, but has fired fresh many times in the past. Veteran mare loves this inner-dirt (7-3-2-0). The main danger.
3rd pick: #1 (Salt Water Reign) - One run type absolutely loves this surface (8-4-2-1) and her rail post allows for a ground saving trip before launching a bid. Exotics player.
