Top pick: #4 (DELL REEF) - She's the fastest of this group and in a 5-furlong sprint that's a big advantage. Until recently she'd been racing at Monmouth and veteran mare will be tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Swiss Blend) - Freshened-up since August 1, mare chased and tired at this price and distance August 1 and has run well of of short breaks in the past. Nice to see leading rider Parker back aboard and this 7-year-old by "Swiss Yodeler" is a threat tonight.
3rd pick: #8 (Bella Michelle) - Mare rallied to finish second here at this trip and distance Sept. 11 in her first ever local appearance. Strong finisher should get a fast pace to close into and must be left in the mix.
