Top pick: #5 (OUR REPUBLIC) (8-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Tapit" chased and tired here on Oct. 8 in her first since Aug. 10. Grey filly has been bet in three of four starts and trainer John Servis drops her to a new low.
2nd pick: #2 (Misstreated) (10-1) - Longshot is from a high-percentage, small outfit (Damon Dilodovico)and is dropping into a claimer, stretching-out in distance, and racing second off a two month break.
3rd pick: #4 (Time for a Dime) (7-2) - Home-bred has some late kick and will be trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Lightly raced, improving, and a win candidate.
4th pick: #6 (Bossy Breen) (2-1) - She has some early speed and has finished second in two of five starts on this surface. Mare must be left in the mix.
