Top pick: #7 (BROOKIE GIRL) - Lightly-raced mare was claimed at Del mar by Mark Glatt on August 20 for $16K and has been given a two month freshening. Runs back at the purchase price and she's been training well at fairplex. She gets a lot of speed to track and draws a nice post for the distance. can win this if she holds her form.
2nd pick: #3 (Ms. Margaritaville) - Speedy filly races off an early June layoff, but is training well for her comebacker and she's two-for-three on this surface. Tough with her "A" game.
3rd pick: #2 (Cool Haleigh) - Mare raced evenly in a pair facing tougher at Del Mar after coming back from a 13 1/2 month layoff in July. On the shelf for another 70 days heading into this she drops in price to a new low and is in the dangerous Carava barn.
