Top pick: #8 (CHARMING ENTRY) (8-5) - Grey filly has been freshened up since June 18. She missed by a 'neck' here that day racing at this level and is training fast for her return. Can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #7 (Abide in Time) (3-1) - Home bred is racing herself back into shape following a 7 1/2 month layoff. She finished third here at this level Aug 9 after setting a pressured pace. It was her best overall since returning and filly is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Redtieaffair) (5-2) - From the high energy barn of Jamie Ness, lightly raced 3-year-old faces winners for the first time. Fla. bred rallied from close range to break her maiden here at this tag July 20. She's worked twice since and leading rider Gallardo is aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #1 (Mama Quatorze) (12-1) - Not a win candidate, but with a patient ride from her inside post, longshot may grab a minor award at a big price.
