Top pick: #2 (NINE LOVES) - She's finished second in both starts, the latest coming off a Chris Englehart claim and a subsequent 2 1/2 month layoff. Speed/stalker draws just off the rail and looks set for her maiden win.
2nd pick: #5 (Rock N Cozy) - Speedy grey daughter of "Rockport Harbor" has been freshened-up since late July when she finished a pace-setting third at Saratoga running on the grass at this level. 4-year-old has finished second in both previous main track starts and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Divadora) - Filly was competitive in both outings at Saratoga and has been working very fast at Fair Hill in Maryland for this attempt. Fits, has wet track experience, she draws outside of the speed.
