Top pick: #4 (ALMOST REALITY) (7-2) - One of several who are lightly-raced and improving. Daughter of 'Desert Code' rallied to check in third of 10, beaten 2-lengths racing here at this level and distance Aug 14. It was her first with Lasix and blinkers and she can win this with a slight move forward.
2nd pick: #1 (Just Peachy) (4-1) - Stretch runner rallied to finish second at this level going 6.5-furlongs on the dirt Aug 2. It was her first in five months and trainer Mark Glatt moves her to the grass and stretches her out in distance.
3rd pick: #6 (Lirica Heat) (10-1) - Long shot tired badly facing winners here on the grass Aug 13. Back in with maidens she has blinkers removed and can be a factor at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Omorfi Kapella) (6-1) - Speed/stalker hasn't raced since March 15 when she was injured in a race when she had to avoid a fallen rival. Fits, is working well, and should be in this all the way if ready.
5th pick: #5 (Bilger's Sapphire) (9-2) - Long time maiden has gone 9-0-3-2 on the grass and is 3-0-1-1 locally. Strong finisher is in shape and must be left in the mix.
