Top pick: #1 (EVIE JO) (3-1) - Competitive filly moves up in class after rallying to win here at this distance Aug 23 racing for an $8000 tag. Her local record is a solid 9-4-2-1 and she's gone 11-4-3-1 at this distance.
2nd pick: #3 (Island Harbor) (6-1) - Speed/stalker missed by a nose here facing weaker at this trip on Aug. 22 in her first back off a two month break and first ever at a two-turn distance.
3rd pick: #5 (Miss Nikki J) (6-1) - Filly rallied strongly to nip "Harbor" by a "nose" here on Aug. 22 in what was her first two-turn trip ever. In shape and a win candidate.
4th pick: #7 (Grand Corredora) (2-1) - Lightly-raced home-bred was an easy winner two back on the Plesanton dirt to clear the 2l condition, then ran evenly last out on the Santa Rosa turf. The Hollendorfer barn drops her back down, has her going grass to "poly," and the world's winningest rider (Russell Baze) is aboard.
