Top pick: #6 (SLEEPLESS DIXIE) - Speedy daughter of "Dixie Union" shipe in from Monmouth and trainer Kelly Breen will switch her from the turf to the dirt and stretch her out in distance. She's won on the main track in the past and has been facing tougher in New Jersey in her turf sprints. Has a bullet drill on Sept. 11 and jockey Angel Serpa comes in for the mount.
2nd pick: #1 (Be My Candy) - Very steady runner ships back from Philly Park where she finished third at this condition and distance Sept. 11. Three-year-old has run well in both local appearances without winning and looks set for a big effort.
3rd pick: #1a (Red For Certain) - She's won both her starts by a combined 26 lengths and trainer Tony Pecoraro was lucky that she went unclaimed last out. Grey filly by "Red Bullet" runs today in an allowance and faces a much tougher group this afternoon. Contender, she's coupled in the wagering with #1 "Be My Candy".
