Top pick: #3 (AFLEET ECHO) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, she comes off a career best at Los Alamitos on Sept. 13. Filly had a wide trip from an outside post, rallied to reach the front turning for home, but was out-finished for the win while clearly second best. She's worked fast since and her early speed is a big advantage in this rather paceless field.
2nd pick: #5 (Diamond Flush) (4-1) - She finished second at this tag racing at Del Mar on Aug. 9. It was her first start in eight months and she came back win an even effort last out facing tougher on the grass. Filly moves to the dirt and is dropping back down for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Lamazone) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, no-speed type is racing second off a two month break, takes a big drop in class, and is running on conventional dirt for the first time. The faster the pace, the better her prospects.
4th pick: #1 (Italian Harmony) (4-1) - Stalker has finished second in three of her last five starts and in two of those she was racing on conventional dirt. She has the rail and should factor again.
