Top pick: #6 (MY SPARKY) (5-2) - Mare has been freshened up since finishing an even third at Saratoga when facing similar company on a sloppy track on Sept. 1. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez has her working fast and has her well spotted.
2nd pick: #3 (Sweet Maxine) (3-1) - Speed/stalker enters in career best form and will move up in class after a win on this surface facing weaker on Sept. 8. Grey filly tries hard every time and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #4 (Bird House) (2-1) - The probable favorite, filly by "Limehouse" was a sharp winner when facing weaker at Saratoga on Aug. 2, then just missed a month later when racing at this level. Obvious win candidate in her present form.
4th pick: #5 (Quiet Sunshine) (8-1) - She's cutting back in distance and runs first off a claim by Jena Antonucci for $20K on Sept. 3. Daughter of "Real Quiet" has done well at this trip in the past at 3-1-0-2 and can factor at a square price.
