Top pick: #1 (SENSE OF REALITY) - Filly was well-backed at the windows when debuting at saratoga Aug 17th and tired after chasing a quick pace while racing wide. Working fast for her first back off a two month freshening and she draws the rail. Trainer Tony Dutrow is strong 2nd time out(32%) and his regular Philly Park rider (Frankie Pennington) is aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Mme.dePompadour) - One of two fillies entered by trainer Scott Lake and the pair race uncoupled. Away a bit tardily in her well-bet debut here Sep 17th she rallied into a fast pace to finish 2nd. Home-bred has since come back with a file half-mile drill and she's an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Downtown Girl) - Bet down to favotitism when debuting here 15 days ago, daughter of "City Zip" set a pressured pace and held gamely to finish 3rd, beaten a length. The high percentage barn of John Servis brings her back quickly and a repeat of her first appearance makes her a strong factor.
