Top pick: #1 (PENCIL PUSHER) - She has the rail, is part of an entry with another contender (No. 1a Mellifera). Stretch-out sprinter is improving, has positional speed, and Parker stays put. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Bird of Honor) - 4-year-old has some talent and finished second here when debuting here on Sept. 17. Stretches-out and is a win candidate.
