Top pick: #5 (SUGAR BABY LOVE) - Logical contender and probable favorite has finished second in her last three starts, all at this condition. Freshened up since a strong second place finish on this course on July 4, she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Great Kate Above) - Draws the hedge and she has become a much better runner this year (5-1-1-3). Strong finisher gets to save all the ground before launching her bid. Square price is part of the bargain.
3rd pick: #9 (Theda's Smile) - Very consistent turf runner (15-1-6-4), has run well on this course(6-1-3-2) and and only was about a length off the choice the last time they met. Very dangerous.
4th pick: #10 (A P Fortune) - Lightly raced and from a good barn (Mike Matz), filly had little chance in her debut when she was bumped heavily at the start. Contender with a clean break.
