Top pick: #3 (CITY KISS) (7-2) - Filly makes her Finger Lakes debut and does so for the perennial leading trainer here (Chris Englehart). Speed/stalker has a recency edge on her main rival (No. 2 Little Halo) and has a solid shot at running that mare down in the stretch.
2nd pick: #2 (Little Halo) (8-5) - The probable favorite, mare has plenty of early speed and is working sharply for her first start since July 6th. In a fine barn (Jeremiah Englehart) and he drops her to a new low for her return off the long absence.
3rd pick: #1 (Proud Parent) (5-1) - The third horse from the Englehart family, this one is trained by Jeff, Jeremiah's son and Chris's grandson. She enters in shape, draws the rail, and finished second here in her only previous start on this surface.
