Top pick: #10 (MIDNIGHT LIEN) (7-2) - Speedy grey filly is working fast for her first start since late March. She tired that afternoon at Santa Anita after dueling through fast fractions. Her last two drills are local after she had a bullet 5-furlong breeze Aug 17 at Del Mar. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #4 (Elimination Round) (3-1) - She enters off a pair of even efforts racing at this tag at Del Mar. Four-year-old finished fourth in both of those with the latest coming Aug 12 when blinkers were added. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lana Caprina) (6-1) - Speed/stalker lost all chance Aug 28 at Del Mar when she was squeezed and steadied at the break. Competitive in four of five prior to that and she's capable of impacting with an alert getaway.
4th pick: #1 (Wild Street Party) (5-1) - One of two fillies making their debuts, she has seven published drills since late July, all coming at Del Mar. Tommy Town home bred has the rail and need not be anything special to factor first out against this crew.
