Top pick: #3 (NOTELL) - She had a very poor trip last out at Saratoga as this 4yo daughter of "Quiet American" raced 4-5 wide on both turns and hadsome traffic issues turning for home. She still finished 5th beaten just over 6 lengths. "Hall of Fame" trainer Jonathan Sheppard brings her back quickly and had her work at Saratoga just 5 days ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Crypto Kitten) - Home-bred by "Kitten's Joy" had all sorts of problems when debuting at Saratoga July 23rd, but improved a "ton" last out there whenshe rallied to finish 2nd and defeated Notell in the process. Has the inside, some positional speed, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Saratoga Silver) - Well-backed in both starts grey daughter of "Silver Train" was competitive in her debut here omn the grass May 22nd, then ran poorly at Saratoga last out in a contest that was "switched" to the main-track. Working fine for this and races off a trainer change to Bruce Brown( an 18% winning angle.
4th pick: #7 (Strikealinethruit) - Strong finisher has been competitive in most all of her 10 grass starts and has finished 2nd in 4 of 7 tries on this course. Daughter of "Officer" would benefit the most by some type of fast/and or contested pace.
