Top pick: #2 (BRIGHT ABYSS) - The probable favorite finished a pace-pressing third last out in a state-bred stakes on this surface and trainer Ramon Preciado will drop her down to the price of her last win ($25K). Has plenty of speed and the barn brings her back quickly for this (9 days). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (After the Applause) - Dangerous Penn National shipper finished third there at this price last out in one of the besat starts in her 21 race caeer. God barn (Mike Salvaggio) has won here in the past and trainer brings rider Bill Otero with him. Strong player in this small field.
