Top pick: #2b (SWEET BAMA BREEZE) - Solid turf runner (3-1-2-0) just cleared the maiden hurdle in her last start. Much improved since coming back from a seven-month layoff and the addition of blinkers. Filly has the added advantage of a tractable running style. Makes it two in a row today.
2nd pick: #1 (Hangingonaprayer) - Turf-loving filly finished a strong second two back at Saratoga at this condition in a 5.5 furlong race. Tired badly last out in a "switched" contest and she'll be moving back to the infield for this. Win contender.
3rd pick: #10 (Go Go Bar) - Just missed in a sharp try at Saratoga on August 2, despite some big traffic woes. Working well for her return, and filly draws a good post for her style. Win contender.
