Top pick: #8 (LA STUPENDA) (2-1) - Mare ships in from Indiana Downs wher she finished second in a sprint at this level. She's won here in the past and trainer Brad Cox wins at a solid 40% rate when extending runners in yardage.
2nd pick: #1 (Kitty Kat Karly) (5-1) - She had some promise at one time but has slipped down into the lower claiming ranks of late. Filly was a winner at Ellis at this tag on July 21st to clear the 3l condition and has been freshened up since. She's working fine, has the rail, and is a threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Pretty Gal Too) (5-1) - Mare also comes from Ellis where she defeated slightly weaker Aug. 25th to win for the seventh time in 32 starts. Overall effort was her best since March and she's in the same race exotic bets mix.
4th pick: #6 (Pure Value) (4-1) - Tough call, grey mare was eased last out at Ellis when hopelessly beaten. Drops for this, has blinkers added, and she's gone 3-2-1-0 on this surface and is 3-for-7 at this distance.
