Top pick: #1 (HIDE MY HEART) (3-1) - She's moving up in class after an easy win here at this trip for a $16K tag July 26. Lightly raced filly has the rail, remains fresh, and stalker should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Lucky Student) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, she tired here facing tougher Aug. 12th. It was her first race in two months, and trainer Bill Spawr brings her back quickly while dropping her in class. More that capable of being a major factor.
3rd pick: #5 (Shared Image) (4-1) - She's won two in a row and is doubling up in class in her first off a Mike Machowsky claim. Consistent sort fits on 'figures' despite the move up the ladder.
4th pick: #6 (Alway's a Chance) (7-2) - Veteran runs first off a Doug O'Neill claim (17%). Strong finisher ran evenly last out following a win here facing weaker July 16. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
