Top pick: #5 (ANGEL CODE) (9-5) - Very fast from the gate, grey filly has been freshened up for the past two months and is working fast at Monmouth Park for her return. High-percentage barn (Jorge Navarro) drops her into a claimer for the first time and shortens her up in distance.
2nd pick: #6 (Valid Melody) (3-1) - She enters off a career best when she finished a close up third here going 7-furlongs on Aug. 11 when facing fellow Pa.-bred special weights. Grey filly draws a nice outside post in this small field and is a threat from off the pace.
3rd pick: #1 (Will Do) (7-2) - Well bred filly has been bet in all five starts and enters off of three straight even efforts. Home bred by "Roman Ruler" has the rail and believe she's ready for a big effort.
4th pick: #2 (Que Regalo) (6-1) - The third grey runner in this six horse field, she ships in from Delaware Park where she raced evenly when debuting from a tough outside post facing tougher July 31th. Very dangerous barn (Marc Zulueta) adds Lasix, drops her down, and daughter of "Tale of the Cat" draws a much better post.
