(# 1) SALTWATER TAFFY - The speed on the rail in Big A debut. Easy wire-to-wire win in Delaware unveiling on Oct. 9. Trainer (Mike Trombetta) is successful wherever he runs, and rarely brings a horse here unless he thinks they belong.

(# 4) Freakstein - Blinkers go on for this obvious contender. Whistled in Spa. debut, then tried a pair of stakes where she ran well. Trainer Bill Mott is 21% when adding blinkers.

(# 5) Darling Monique - Nice win from just off the pace in Meadowlands debut for the Pletcher barn. Race was slow for the track.

(# 7) Silky Kitty - Fields most experienced runner has proved she can pass some horses late. Most of these are front-end types and some will back up quickly thru the field. If she's patient, she may get a chunk of this.
