Top pick: #4 (TARIS) (2-1) - Very lightly-raced daughter of "Flatter" has been on the sidelines since she tired going two-turns on the Oaklawn Park dirt in a G3 stakes on March 8th. She had won her first pair in impressive fashion and is training fast at Penn National for the fine barn of Todd Beattie. The horse to beat if she handles the synthetic surface.
2nd pick: #3 (J's Two Step) (4-1) - Home bred tries hard every time out and she enters off a good looking win here going two-turns on July 8th. That ran her local record to 3-1-2-0 and she's a strong player in this small field.
3rd pick: #5 (Pistol's Shoes) (9-2) - Arkie-bred has enters off a pair of very easy wins here since returning from a two month break in early June. In an excellent barn (Joe Martin) filly is still improving and is in the three horse win mix.
