Top pick: #3 (FUN AND GAINS) - Filly races first off a Jamie Ness claim (a 40% winning angle) and he'll drop her down from the purchase price (a typical move by him), and he moves her from turf to dirt and cuts her back in distance. The 3-year-old gets the call in a poor field.
2nd pick: #1 (Satin Sunset) - The probable favorite, Delaware shipper is lightly raced, in a winning barn (Steve Asmussen), and she has Dominguez aboard for her local debut. Last out daughter of "Lion Heart" finished second at Delaware Park when racing for $430K and that was her first race in 7 1/2 months. Has the rail and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Passeporta) - She raced wide here at this tag on Sept. 20 in her first back off a 7 week freshening. Trainer John Kimmel brings her back on short notice and she should show whatever talent she has in this spot.
