Top pick: #9 (HALO OF FALKOR) - Fort Erie invader has been competitive in four of her five starts with her only poor effort coming on a sloppy surface August 21. Filly had finished second there in her previous pair, has solid early speed, and runs off a positive trainer switch to Bob Johnston (24% with new arrivals). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Sensationalmystery) - Lightly-raced filly by "Macho Uno" has finished in two straight on this surface at this price. Speed/stalker is improving, is in a good barn (Bart Baird), and should be involved from gate to wire.
3rd pick: #4 (Fashionable Girl) - Grey filly finished a pace-chasing second last out to a "much the best" wire-to-wire winner in her best effort since May. Fine barn (Ed Schilling) brings her back quickly for this (9 days) and grey folly must be left in the mix.
