Top pick: #1 (MISS LORI) (5-1) - Price play took some money when debuting here Aug 20 for a $30K tag. She had a tough outside post and chased the pace while very wide. Filly predictably tired down the stretch in a useful first outing. Trainer Kristin Mulhall brings her back quickly and daughter of 'Olmodavor' moves to the rail. Has a big shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Atlantic Slew) (7-2) - Filly takes the drop into claimers for the first time. She raced evenly while between horses in her debut at Santa Anita in late June. Freshened up since, she's worked six times here since July 17. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Tiz Pleasant) (3-1) - She set a pressured pace before weakening to finish fourth here at this level Aug 6. It was her first since checking in a close up third when debuting June 20. Claimed that day by Alf Marquez for $25K, he has her working nicely and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
4th pick: #5 (Briana Jean) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's gone 3-0-2-1 since running fourth in here May 30 debut at Santa Anita. Speed/stalker should be involved every step, but will no doubt over-bet. I think she's beatable at short odds.
