Top pick: #1 (ITSYESORNOIHAVTOGO) (9-2) - Beulah invader has good early speed, and will be stretching back out for a winning outfit (Eric Reed). Daughter of "More Than Ready" is improving, and has Deshawn Parker aboard for her Mountaineer debut.
2nd pick: #7 (Red Trillium) (2-1) - Debuting daughter of "Forestry" is a Stronach home-bred, and has been in steady training since early June. Bred to like this distance, she meets a weak field, and trainer Jose Corrales has a fine local record (29-6-7-2). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Gift of Gabby) (10-1) - She goes turf to dirt, and stretches out in distance off a fourth place finish here at this level going 5.5 furlongs on the grass Sept. 15th. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Six Strong Lady) (6-1) - Long-time maiden rallied to just miss in a small field (4) at Beulah park on Sept. 15th. She can "run all day," but needs to do better for any shot at the win end.
