Top pick: #5 (NAVA NATALY) (5-1) - Mare ships in from the Sacramento Fair where she rallied while wide to finish second on the conventional dirt there. She likes "poly" tracks (9-2-2-1) and stalker meets a weak field in this spot. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Glorious Rebecca) (8-1) - Speedy 3-year-old tired after chasing a quick pace from an outside post here at this level on Aug. 1. She was claimed for the third straight time that afternoon and new trainer Caesar Dominguez had her work a sharp hal-mile Aug. 17. Longshot possibilities.
3rd pick: #2 (Chipette) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she rallied from close range to win here at this tag on Aug. 1. It was her first back from a 7-week break and was her first ever on a synthetic surface. She has back class and is a win candidate at a short price.
4th pick: #1 (Pursuitofparadise) (9-2) - Only a "nose" back of "Chippette" last out it was her best since returning from a eight month layoff on July 5th. Stalker has the rail and is a stretch threat again this afternoon.
