Top pick: #1 (FULL OF GUT ) - In career best shape at present filly has been freshened-up since a win at this level at Saratoga on July 28. Working fine, she draws the rail, has a lot of speed to stalk, and 4-year-old by "Full Mandate" can run them down turning for home. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Cinco de Mayo Mio) - She finished second last out at Saratoga at this level going 7 furlongs and lost all chance at the start when she had a poor getaway. Stalker cuts-back a furlong and was an easy winner here 11 months ago in her only previous appearance on this surface.
3rd pick: #8 (Ms. Vanenzza) - Talented mid-Atlantic invader has a one-run style and should get a fast pace to close into. Daughter of "Successful Appeal" draws the outside slot and needs to avoid a wide trip for any chance down the stretch.
