Top pick: #1 (MAPLE FOREST) - Lightly-raced filly is one of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair will race uncoupled. Daughter of "Forestry" comes off her best race yet when she set a pace pace and was beaten a 1/2 length at Saratoga in the G3 Victory Ride S. on August 27. She has a bullet drill since, draws the rail, and will be very tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Moonlit Malibu) - Very sharp rigt now this hard-hitter makes her first local appearance, but has won at several different tracks and on July 2 at Monmouth she finished second to "Maple Forest" in the $75K Dearly Precious S. at Monmouth. Working fast for this and last out at Charles Town she won by over 7 lengths in a career best "figure" wise. Dangerous foe.
