Top pick: #1a (HANNAHSLITTLEANGEL) - She's part of a strong entry from the barn of Tevis McCauley and either can win this. Daughter of "Harlan"s Holiday" was an easy maiden winner here May 24 and is working sharply for her return. Trainer has given her plenty of time to grow and mature and her bullet drill from the gate at Keeneland Sept. 1 indicates her readiness.
2nd pick: #1 (Hannah's Holiday) - The second part of the McCauley duo is the most experienced filly in this field and was stakes place earlier this summer on the turf at Colonial Downs. Working fast for this, and that includes a bullet half-mile drill at Keeneland a week ago.
3rd pick: #3 (Flying Posse) - Improving colt impressed in his maiden win here a week ago and that came in his second start with lasix. Good small barn (Kevin Chandler) brings him back quickly and he's dangerous in this spot.
