Top pick: #8 (MOUNTAIN GAL) (4-1) - Mare ships in from Beltera Park where she went 5-1-0-2 during a spring/summer campaign. She won her only previous local attempt on March 18 and is cutting back in distance for this attempt. 5yo gets a slight edge in a contentious race.
2nd pick: #3 (Runaway Liz) (3-1) - Speedy sort is going turf to dirt and shortening up in distance. Capable at this distance (6-2-1-0), and she's dangerous if left alone in the early stages.
3rd pick: #4 (Kutloose) (8-1) - She showed nothing last out on the grass, but had gone 3-1-2-0 in her previous three on the dirt. Stalker fits with these and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #6 (Abelia) (15-1) - No speed type has slipped some over the past two years, but is capable from off the pace if the speed doesn't hold. A small slice may be her ceiling.
5th pick: #9 (Bayshore Blaze) (9-2) - Veteran mare ships back from Thistledown where she was unsuccessful in a pair of starts. Her local record is solid 8-3-1-1, and 7yo can impact with her best.
