Top pick: #5 (SEA GULL) - Beautifully-bred filly ("Mineshaft") from the successful Will Farish operation. Come here in shape from Delaware Park where she ran well despite some poor posts and a surface that rarely is kind to closers. Filly broke her maiden here early in the summer. The top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Bill's Presence) - Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in three of her last five including her last pair at this level. Should be in it from the start and give another good account of herself.
3rd pick: #10 (Rcquandry) - Nice set-up as blinkers are added to her equipment by a sharp barn (Dave Carroll) as lightly raced filly goes 2nd off a layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Choice Play) - Filly should be a squre price as she's had more starts than all with only the one win. She's proven competitive at this level and ran big in a pair at Saratoga this past summer. Distance and level are fine and she's an exotics threat.
