Top pick: #8 (HIGER INCENTIVE) - Veteran mare races off a 100-day layoff and first off a trainer change to Rick Dutrow and it's the second time this daughter of "Freud" has been in his barn. Most of her career has been on the turf facing tougher but she's won on the dirt before and has never raced at this low a price. Training steadily at Aqueduct and jockey Ryan Curatolo comes down the Jersey Turnpike for the mount.
2nd pick: #4 (Tale of the Fox) - Another veteran mare and she's been competitive in three straight starts here racing at this price. Daughter of "Tale of the Cat" is an impressive 4-for-5 at this 7-furlong trip and that stat can't be ignored.
3rd pick: #7 (Third Time Lucky) - She rallied to finish third last out at this price, but there were only five starters. The "figure" earned was low and she'll need to really step it up for any hope at winning this.
