Top pick: #4 (LANIDA) (9-2) - Speed/stalker had to be sent hard from the rail post last out and she held gamely until the final 1/16th. The move off the inside is a plus and filly can beat these from close range.
2nd pick: #7 (Koko Loca) (7-2) - Irish-import takes a big drop in price, switches from grass to "poly," and shortens up in distance. Her record on synthetics is a solid 5-1-2-1, and 4-year-old is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Warren's Judy) (6-1) - She comes off a career best when winning here for twice this tag on Aug. 2 to clear the 2l condition. Nice effort and she should get a lively pace to stalk.
4th pick: #1 (Totally Blonde) (15-1) - She gets a big rider change to "P. Val," shortens up in distance, drops in half, and draws the rail. Filly should be competitive at a nice price.
5th pick: #2 (Eltoninadress) (12-1) - Beaten just under two lengths here at this level last out, filly draws a much better post today and can factor at long odds.
