Top pick: #6 (WILLET) (6-5) - The probable favorite, She's back in form following a long layoff (almost 7 months) and last out at saratoga on Aug. 19 she won a $100K stakes to run her record to 11-5-4-1. Mare is 2-for-5 locally, is working fast, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Dreaming of Cara) (8-1) - Filly moves from turf to dirt and cuts back a bit in distance. Her record on the dirt is 8-2-2-1 and when last on the main-track she finished a close up fourth at Saratoga in a $100K stakes.
3rd pick: #5 (Princess Mara) (15-1) - Longshot has a fine record on this surface (6-2-1-0) and both wins have come going a mile. Mare has more early speed than most and can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Miss Valentine) (3-1) - She's a specialist at this distance (6-for-8) and veteran has a fine local record of 12-4-3-0. More than capable with her best of making an impact today, but she's almost always over-bet.
