Top pick: #8 (SHAIKHA) (3-1) - Filly made a strong move and weakened late to finish fourth of 10, beaten two lengths, racing here at this tag on June 6. It was her first in two months, first off a Jeremiah Englehart claim, and she's worked well since.
2nd pick: #1 (Acrostic) (7-2) - Lightly raced Lerman home-bred rallied while extremely wide racing here at this tag on May 30. It was her first in just over a year, and it's nice to see J.J.Castellano back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #2 (Lifeguard On Duty) (5-1) - Barn (Tony Dutrow) won with a similar looking maiden filly here a week ago, and this 4yo has been working sharply for her first in late October. She has some speed and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #5 (Winner's Legacy) (5-2) - Daughter of "Midnight Lute" drops into claimers for the first time after three straight sub-par efforts facing tougher. She has races in her past that would beat this group if repeatable.
