Top pick: #2 (FIRE SHIP) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner did so here at this $40K tag on Sept. 6, going 8.5-furlongs. It marked a career best and this filly is nicely spotted in her first facing winners. She has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (William'sluckygray) (8-1) - Speedy sort is coupled in the wagering with #1a "Lemon and Honey," and they has separate riders listed. Grey filly is racing first off a Gary Sciacca claim and daughter of "Dunkirk" catches a field where her speed makes her a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Casey Roo) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she finished second here at this level going 8.5-furlongs on Sept. 10. It was a career best overall and the cut back in distance isn't a problem.
4th pick: #8 (Saratoga Karaoke) (4-1) - One-run type is stretching out a bit in distance after a pair of good efforts at Saratoga. Filly has done her best work on this course and is a stretch threat today.
