Top pick: #4 (HASTY MISS) (3-1) - Mare loves grass sprinting at 3-2-1-0, and ships back from Penn National where she won a $25K 2l claimer at this 5-furlong trip. She overcame a slow start and has now won two in a row heading into this attempt. Working fast and 5-year-old gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Potiche) (9-2) - Nicely bred filly enters off a career best when she went wire-to-wire to score by 12 1/2 lengths racing here at this level on the dirt Aug. 17. Daughter of "Dixie Union" has the rail and is a win candidate on the front end.
3rd pick: #5 (La Bella Viera) (4-1) - New York shipper set a quick pace and held gamely to finish second to a filly that returned to win a stakes next out. Race was switched off the grass and was her first start in 7-months. A threat from close range.
4th pick: #2 (Sweet Emster) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced filly was a gate-to-wire winner at this level and distance Aug. 18 at Delaware Park. A career best, it was her first ever on the grass and the figure earned fits with these.
