Top pick: #4 (VIVACIOUS ANNIE) - Daughter of "Afleet Alex" finished secind in both of her starts on real dirt at Fairplex in California and has come east to race on the same. In a dynamite barn (Stephanie Beattie) with her new stock (41%), this filly can take this from off the pace.
2nd pick: #1 (Annie's Dream) - Working fast and frequently for her first start since finishing third in her debut at Belmont in mid-June. Great layoff barn (Tony Dutrow 19%) and he's always better second time out (24%). Pino, who rode "Moscow" in her debut ends up here.
3rd pick: #3 (Ms. Moscow) - She cost $175,000 this past February and she just missed in her debut going a mile on the synthetic surface at Presque Isle September 12. She's worked twice since on the Fair Hill "Tapeta" track and will race today on real dirt.
