Top pick: #4 (NOMOREWAR) (3-1) - Nicely-bred filly stretches out in distance for the first time since last winter. Daughter of "More Than Ready" has raced evenly in her last two sprints and meets a weak field today.
2nd pick: #3 (Virginia Rose) (6-1) - Win candidate, she runs off a trainer change to Mike Pino (31% with new arrivals) and he stretches her out in distance. Va.-bred has a fine half-mile breeze here just five days ago and looks set for a big effort.
3rd pick: #1 (Kazachka) (2-1) - Speedy filly has the rail and runs with blinkers on for the first time. She tired last out after being involved in a pace duel, but had finished second here in three straight prior to that.
4th pick: #2 (Lethal Lil Lady) (4-1) - Minor player comes off a career best when she finished second here at this tag and trip Aug. 22. Four-year-old may get another small share with a repeat of it.
