Top pick: #3 (SHE'S ALL TIMBER) (2-1) - Mare has been at this 4l condition a very long time, but has finished second in five of her last seven starts. Stalker meets a weak field and should get the job done in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Valeria Victoria) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, grey filly was a winner here at this trip and tag Aug. 12 as she cleared the 3l condition. Speed/stalker by "Valid Expectations" is now 2-for-2 at Philly Park and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Creswell Bay) (7-2) - Steady performer has a fine local record of 8-2-2-2 and ships back from Penn National where she was a winner going a mile just one week ago. May grab a share if she goes on the quick turnaround.
4th pick: #5 (My Blue Ribbon) (9-2) - Un-raced since last Oct., mare was a winner that day at this tag and trip to clear the 3l hurdle. It was a career best and came first off a Penny Pearce claim. Could factor late if ready.
