Top pick: #2 (PLUMERIA) (5-2) - Lightly-raced grey filly just missed here racing for a $16,000 tag on Aug. 24 in her first off a three month break. Claimed by Mike Pino (32% first off the claim), he has her working fast and runs her back where he can't lose her. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Tap All Night) (4-1) - Stalker has regressed a bit in her last pair, but fits with this group and enters off a third-place finish for a $25K tag. She had some traffic issues that day and can factor with a "clean" trip.
3rd pick: #3 (Blaze Wick) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly ships in from Presque Isle where she broke her maiden there on Aug. 12 facing state-bred special weights. In a good barn (Tim Hooper) and he moves her from "poly" to dirt for her first against winners.
4th pick: #1 (Iness Bay) (6-1) - Home-bred broke her maiden here on a sloppy track going 7 furlongs on Aug. 13. She has a new trainer today (Cathal Lynch 24% with new arrivals), and he has her working nicely for this attempt.
