Top pick: #6 (BERNIE'S PAL) - Lightly raced filly seeks her 3rd in a row and ran well here in June when still a maiden. Improving quickly at this time and she has the best early speed of this group. One of two entered by trainer Linda Rice and they'll race uncoupled. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Zip By You) - Filly has been freshened up since finishing 4th at this level Aug. 1st at Saratoga. She had some traffic woes that day and veteran was working sharply for this attempt. Has four local wins and is a big danger this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Elegant Bess) - One run filly races for the first time since Aug. 1st and she fits at this level and distance. Lots of speed signed on and she draws outside of it in the gate. Has a local win and is a threat again today.
4th pick: #8 (Catty Madeline) - Long shot has a wide trip last out at Saratoga and all 3 of her wins have come on this course. Stretch threat.
