Top pick: #1a (BELLA KATERI) (3-1) - Very lightly raced mare has been competitive in all five starts and is 3-1-1-0 on the grass. Stalker is working very fast for her first since early Nov., is spotted nicely, and draws a fine outside post at this 7-furlong trip on the turf. Looks ready to roll.
2nd pick: #8 (Barrier to Entry) (8-1) - Home bred moves back to the turf after an even effort here at this level June 21 in a contest that was moved to a wet main track. Daughter of 'City Zip' had finished 2nd in her previous pair, both at this level on the grass going 6-furlongs. Speed/stalker can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Moonlit Sonnet) (5-1) - Mare is cutting back in distance and finishing 3rd in three straight at this level going longer. One run type is back in form following a pair of long layoffs, and 5yo will be finishing fast.
4th pick: #2 (Amber Morning) (12-1) - Longshot stretches out a furlong, and that's a plus for this long striding veteran. Competitive in her last pair going 6-furlongs, 5yo 'bobbled' at the break last out, and was forced into a very wide trip. Can impact with an alert getaway.
