Top pick: #6 (KID KATE) - Freshened-up by trainer Bruce Brown since winning a $75K stakes at saratoga on August 31st, this hard-hitting daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" is training fast, liks this aurface, and she's (5-2-1-1) at this 7 furlong trip. With regular rider Eddie castro out with a fractured vertebrae, Mr. Dominguez is an able replacement. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (C C's Pal) - Veteran has spent her entire career (21-4-5-4) out of town and makes her first local appearance off a trainer switch to Rick Dutrow (26% with new arrivals). She has good early speed, is working well, and draws a nice outside post to 'gun" from.
3rd pick: #4 (Coax Liberty) - Talented daughter of "Succesasful Appeal" won a small stakes here at this distance on July 15th, then was overmatched in her next pair, the G1 Test S. at saratoga and the $400K Charles Town Oaks. Strong finisher would love a fast/and or contested pace to develop.
