Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (TAKE IT ASIDE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker is consistent and will be stretching-out to a distance she's run well at in the past. Filly tired last out after pressing a quick pace while very wide and should receive a less stressful trip in this spot.

2nd pick: #3 (Flirtatious Spring) (5-1) - Mare is clearly better on the turf and moves back to the grass after a pair of efforts in switched contests. One-run type fits and she missed by less than a length at Saratoga on Aug. 19.

3rd pick: #4 (Chloe Bear) (8-1) - Daughter of "Macho Uno" finished third here at this level and distance on Sept. 22 in a race that was moved to the main-track. Nice effort came first off a Bruce Brown claim and 3-year-old is more than capable on the grass.

4th pick: #1 (Strike Accord) (4-1) - Strong finisher has been freshened up since Aug. 19 when she rallied to finish third at Saratoga and Broman home-bred was only a "neck" back of "Spring" that afternoon. Stretch threat.
