Top pick: #4 (KICK SAVE) (9-5) - The probable favorite, Santulli home-bred improved in her 2nd start when she raced evenly while wide to run 3rd here at this level going 5 furlongs on Aug 11th. Working at her owner's farm since, trainer Alan Goldberg has her travel an extra furlong, and that should be in her favor.
2nd pick: #6 (Casey Roo) (3-1) - Filly by "First Samurai" cost $120,000 as a yearling and will run off a private trainer change to Bob Reid Jr. Freshened up since Aug 8th, the new barn drops her into a claimer for the first time and last out this filly showed some fine early speed. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Avaritia) (5-1) - Pennsylvania home-bred is working steadily for her debut and is in a barn (Cathal Lynch) that wins at an excellent 23% rate with first-time starters. A major factor if ready.
4th pick: #8 (Inforthelonghaul) (8-1) - Another debuting runner, daughter of "Graeme Hall" is in an under-rated barn (Bill Hedus)and this filly has been working well above average for some time now. Dangerous, and she'll be a square price.
