Top pick: #5 (BEER GOGGLES) (3-1) - Speed/stalker has been sharp here in both starts since coming off almost a 4 1/2 month layoff Aug. 30. Filly also had a positive trainer change to Juan Guerrero, and she likes this particular distance (2-0-2-0). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Riverness) (8-5) - Pa-bred enters off a career best when she rallied to finish second here at this tag going seven-furlongs on Aug. 31. She has enough positional speed to stay close early and make a run turning for home. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Two Times a Nite) (4-1) - Lightly raced filly rallied mildly to finish a distant third here at this level going 5.5-furlongs Aug. 31. It was her first off a Dave Dotolo claim, and he's stretching her out around two-turns for the first time.
4th pick: #3 (She's Secretly Mine) (12-1) - Another that's stretching out, but she was finished almost eight lengths back of "Riverness" last out. Lightly raced daughter of "Mineshaft" should like the added distance and is a factor at a big price.
