Top pick: #6 (E STREET BOURBON) - Debuting filly has been in steady training since mid-July and trainer Ed Kenneally (18% first out) skipped the saratoga meet with her. Daughter of "E Dubai" had an impressive half-mile gate work here on Sept. 7 that suggests that speed is present. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Grand Lely Drive) - She's shown good early speed in both starts, one each on turf 7 dirt. Freshened-up since Aug. 13, trainer Kathy Ritvo will drop this daughter of "Grabd Slam" into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Read the Personals) - She didn't show much in her debut at Saratoga on Aug. 5, but filly had some trouble at the start and it came on a muddy surface. Daughter of "Read the Footnotes" has a bullet local drill on Sept. 23, draws the rail, and is a threat at a big price.
