Top pick: #6 (ELUSIVE LUCI) (5-2) - Well-bred filly set a quick and pressured pace before tiring when debuting on Aug. 11 at Del Mar when facing special weights. Trainer Tim Yakteen has her working fast and drops her into a claimer.
2nd pick: #3 (Shand) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's finished an even fourth in her last two starts and will be dropping back down and switching from "poly" to dirt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Tizhardtoget) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, she hasn't seen action since finishing third on May 18th at Hollywood Park. Drops, is working fast, and she hails from a capable barn (Eric Kruljac).
4th pick: #2 (Patriot C H ) (5-1) - Freshened up since Aug. 14, she's working fast locally for her return and trainer Carla Gaines will drop her into a claimer and shorten her up in distance.
