Top pick: #5 (MAKER'S MIKA) (5-2) - Excellent debut saw her rally to finish second on a muddy surface when racing here at this level, going 6-furlongs on June 3rd. Barn (Cathal Lynch) wins at a 26% rate second time out and filly is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Wherethere'sfire) (9-2) - She hasn't raced since early Sept. when she finished 3rd of 11, beaten a length racing here against fellow Pa.-breds. Filly was bet in all three 2013 appearances and is a win threat if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (She's Alex) (6-1) - She debuted in the same June 3rd race as "Mika" and raced evenly while 4 1/2 back of that rival. She's worked since and jockey Paco Lopez is in again for the mount.
4th pick: #6 (Luna Time) (6-1) - Debuting filly by "Malibu Moon" is working steadily at Fair Hill and is in a very good barn (Graham Motion). The presence Kendrick Carmouche is a plus.
