Top pick: #4 (JADE TAYLOR) - Improving and lightly-raced filly went wire-to-wire last out at Del Mar to run her record to 3-for-7. She has a bullet 5 furlong work here on Sept. 29 and she won her only previous race on real dirt (at Pleasanton June 26). Nicely spotted and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Michailasheartlite) - Races first off a claim by Mike Mitchell (37%) and filly is racing back into shape following a long layoff. She missed by a nose at Fairplex facing tougher 13 months ago in her only start on real dirt and Mitchell has her primed for a big effort.
3rd pick: #8 (Takethemoneyandrun) - Her lack of speed hurts and has limited her to only one win. May grab a small share with a late rally with one of her better efforts.
