Top pick: #1 (SARA BAY) (4-1) - Filly rallied to finish third here at this trip racing for a $10K tag Aug. 16. It was her second start back off a 9-month break and a huge improvement off her first off the long layoff. Has the rail, is in a winning barn (Phil Aristone), and there's plenty of pace signed on to help her one-run style.
2nd pick: #4 (Fiery Star) (3-1) - The speed of the speed, she's tired in her last pair facing a bit tougher. Veteran Scott Lake drops her to a new low and this well bred 3-year-old is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Distinctlybella) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, she has back class and fine early speed. However, Fla.-bred has tired in her last pair at this level and faces others with early speed. A threat with her best.
4th pick: #4 (Sugar Boss) (2-1) - Another with a bit of speed, filly is taking a big drop in class and shortening up in distance. Daughter of "Street Boss" should be competitive at this reduced tag.
