Top pick: #2 (QUINTILE) (2-1) - New York shipper has been freshened up since July 12th when he rallied to finish third on the Belmont grass when racing at this $40K tag. Working fast for her return, she has the rail and trainer Bruce Levine has made the most out of his NYRA invaders here this year (40-10-4-9).
2nd pick: #6 (Kinda Sexy) (5-1) - Stretch-out sprinter has shown plenty of speed, going shorter on the local dirt and front-end types tend to do well on this turf course. In a good barn (Phil Aristone) and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Lady Nitro) (2-1) - Speed/stalker is 2-0-1-1 on this course and last out tired at Saratoga facing tougher in a 7 furlong dirt contest. Obvious win candidate, she runs for owner/trainer Ramon Preciado.
4th pick: #1 (Entry of :1-Trumpet Kaz & 1a-Ten Legends) - Both fillies are lightly raced and have shown a bit of ability. Barn (Pete Kazamias) has had a good year and either of this pair could improve enough to be a factor in this spot.
