Top pick: #6 (JUNGLE PRINCESS) (5-2) - Mare finished a solid second here on Aug. 7 in her first start in 10 months, then tired badly just eight days later. The high-percentage Ness barn may have had her "bounce" that afternoon and 5-year-old can win this with a repeat of her comebacker.
2nd pick: #2 (Robin's Kisses) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly is one of two entered by trainer Randy Nunley and the pair race uncoupled. She finished second here at this level July 20th, then raced evenly in her latest after being "hard to load." Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Foundation) (8-1) - Price play has the rail and comes off an even effort last out, a contest where she raced wide. Blinkers go on and think she'll run well at long odds.
