Top pick: #2 (DISPOSABLEPLEASURE) - Grey daughter of Derby hero "Giacomo" finished a close-up fourth despite some traffic issues when debuting in a two-turn grass contest at Saratoga on August 14. Trainer Todd Pletcher shipped her to Monmouth four weeks later and switched her to the dirt for her second start and she finished a game second after being involved in the pace from start to finish. She's worked twice in New Jersey since and is the horse to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Illegally Blonde) - Daughter of "Mineshaft" has been competitive in all three of her starts and has had some sort of problem in each. She hesitated at the start of her debut, then had traffic issues in her next pair. $160K yearling purchase is a win candidate in this small field.
