Top pick: #2b (BENNY'S BULLET) (3-1) - Speedy filly is part of a Gary Contessa trained entry, and he has separate riders listed on both. She just missed here at this level and distance on Oct. 13th in her first off a claim, and is brought back quickly for this attempt.
2nd pick: #1 (Entry of 1-Caterwaul & 1a-Macaroon) (4-1) - This is a Kiaran McLaughlin trained entry, and both are contenders. "Caterwaul" is a Darley home-bred by "Street Cry," and has been working above average for her first outing. "Macaroon" has early speed and moves back to the grass in her second off a two month freshening.
3rd pick: #6 (Saratoga Karaoke) (5-1) - She had a very difficult trip last out and still managed to run third racing here at this level going 7-furlongs on Sept. 26th. Nice effort came fresh off a Carl Domino claim, and was a career best.
4th pick: #7 (Risque Reality) (9-2) - Debuting daughter of "More Than Ready" cost $360K as a yearling, and has a pair of sharp recent works on the Saratoga training track. Can factor if ready.
5th pick: #5 (Rachel's Temper) (8-1) - Filly by "Flatter" has improved since moving to the turf, and will be cutting back in distance after a pair of 8.5 furlong attempts. Don't just ignore.
