Top pick: #7 (PALMETTO STAR) (2-1) - Lightly-raced mare has the best early speed and is taking a big drop in class for trainer Tim Hamm. She's beaten tougher than this in the past and is spotted to win this evening.
2nd pick: #4 (Cocoa) (2-1) - Grey filly was an easy winner at this tag in her first on this surface Aug. 21. It was also her first for trainer Lance Stokes and I like the fact he brings her back on short notice.
3rd pick: #1 (My Majestic) (4-1) - Stalker finished a close up fourth when sprinting here Aug. 19. It was her first ever at this tag and trainer Joe Martin brings her back quickly and stretches her back out. In the mix.
4th pick: #2 (She's a Corker) (7-2) - All of her success has come at Presque Isle (9-2-2-2) and she's another stretching back out in distance. She has early speed and must avoid a pace-duel with "Palmetto Star" for any shot at the top prize.
