Top pick: #6 (WAHINE BLING) (7-2) - World class barn (Steve Asmussen) stills plays the claiming game and they took this grey filly last out for $10K. She was a winner here at this distance that day and is now three for eight in grass sprints. Asmussen wins at a 21% rate first off the claim and I like this 4yos chances.
2nd pick: #7 (Storm's Promise) (5-2) - Veteran mare has gone 18-5-3-5 sprinting on the turf and has an outstanding local record 5-4-1-0. Very fast from the gate, she's dropping in class off a 2 1/2 month layoff and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Queenland) (3-1) - Old-timer ran both wide & evenly here last out at this trip facing tougher. It was this veteran mares first race off almost a two month vacation and her connections bring her back quickly and drop her in class. Texas bred has won more turf sprints (8) than any other entered.
4th pick: #2 (Crhossgo) (8-1) - She's another that's fast from the gate and comes off a good try here Aug 22. She's the speed nearest the rail and is dangerous at a square price.
