Top pick: #7 (NIFTY SHINDIG) - Lightly raced and improving, she ships here from Arlington where filly ran a career best when finishing second there at this level going a mile on Sept. 22. Trainer Eddie Kenneally has her stringing starts together and the extra furlong today should benefit this daughter of "Mr. Greeley."
2nd pick: #5 (Strike It Green) - This try No. 11 and she's nearing her fifth birthday. That said, she comes in from Woodbine in shape and will race fresh off a two month break. In a top barn (Mark Casse) and it's nice to see Miguel Mena aboard.
3rd pick: #8 (Dynarama) - Longshot has raced evenly in both appearsnces and goes today off a 100 day layoff for a new trainer (Helen Pitts). Bred to handle this distance and Pitts immediately adds blinkers. "Live" price play.
