Top pick: #6 (MAURA'S PASS) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, daughter of "War Pass" is dropping into a claimer for the first time and shortening up a furlong. Filly raced evenly last out from a inside post going 7-furlongs facing tougher and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Senso) (7-2) - She missed by a "nose" here at this level and distance on Sept. 12. it was her first ever on the turf, a career best overall, and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Lloyd Harbor) (12-1) - Speedy filly has had a lot of chances but comes off a pace-setting fourth-place finish here at this level and trip on Sept. 7. Daughter of "Langfuhr" is a threat at a big price.
4th pick: #12 (Laura Can Disco) (10-1) - Well backed when debuting on a muddy track at Saratoga Aug. 13, she set a quick pace and tired to finish a distant second. Trainer Gary Gullo (who is having a solid meet) moves her to the turf and she's bred to like the grass.
5th pick: #8 (Countess Twice) (8-1) - Filly exits the same Sept. 12 race as "Senso" and was only 3 1/2 lengths back of her at the finish. Stalker draws a better post this afternoon and could factor at a big price.
