Top pick: #10 (CLASSIC AUSSIE) (9-2) - Grey filly has run well in both starts and finished a solid third here going 6-furlongs on the grass at this level when debuting on Sept. 7. She draws a nice outside post for this 7-furlong trip and gets a slight edge. Make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #8 (Miss Matzoball) (4-1) - Improving sort comes off a solid third place finish at this level and distance here on Oct. 9. It was her first ever on the grass and home-bred by "Smoke Glacken" has Castellano aboard for the first time as her regular rider (Joe Bravo) opts for "Aussie." Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Summon the Spirit) (10-1) - Debuting Broman filly has been in steady training since mid-July and is in a barn (Jimmy Jerkens) that's having a career best year. Trainer is much better second time out but this daughter of "Summer Bird" could impact at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (She's Roman) (30-1) - Lonhshot has finished fourth in her first pair sprinting on the dirt facing weaker. Filly by "Corinthian" was claimed last out for $40K and new barn moves her up in class, switches her to the turf, and stretches her out in distance. May grab a share at a very big price.
5th pick: #12 (Culminating) (6-1) - Filly raced "greenly" and evenly when debuting here in an off the turf contest at this level Oct. 1. She took her share of money that afternoon and is from a great turf barn (Chris Clement) that wins at a 20% rate second time out.
