Top pick: #8 (MERRY MEADOW) (6-1) - Home-bred daughter of "Henny Hughes" is as consistent as they come (13-2-7-4), and her local record is excellent (5-1-3-1). Speedy stalker draws a nice outside post and won her only previous start at this distance.
2nd pick: #3 (Uno Duo) (9-5) - The probable favorite, speedy Juddmonte home-bred has improved in every start since debiting at Tampa in April. She was an impressive winner at Saratoga at this distance on July 21, and is working fast for this assignment. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Asiya) (2-1) - She "broke thru" the gate before the start and raced evenly in the $1M "Cotillion" stakes at Philly Park on Sept. 21st. Shadwell home-bred had won her previous race at Saratoga, and this is the distance she broke her maiden at last Dec. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Toasting) (8-1) - One paced type is not a win candidate, but she could get a minor share at a big price if the pace is fast and/or contested.
