Top pick: #2 (DISCREET MARQ) (5-1) - New York shipper has gone 8-4-1-2 on the grass and speed/stalker enters in career best form. Stakes winner winner comes off a career best at belmont and was working fast at Saratoga before boarding the plane west.

2nd pick: #4 (Emotional Kitten) (6-1) - She just missed becoming a G1 winner last out at Arlington when she missed by a 1/2 length to the improving "Emollient" in the "American Oaks." Consistent, and a threat if she holda her form.

3rd pick: #6 (Kitten's Dumplings) (5-2) - In shape and consistent, she's 5-for-8 on the grass and four of those have come in stakes. Very fast finisher is a win candidate in this G1 contest.

4th pick: #1 (Wishing Gate) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and improving, filly by "Indian Charlie" enters off a career best when she won the (G2) "San Clemente' here on July 21st. Strong finisher should love this 1 1/8th mile distance.

5th pick: #10 (Unusual Way) (12-1) - Longshot has some talent, speed/stalking ability, and could grab a minor award at a big price.
