Top pick: #8 (LILLIE LANGTRY) - It's a bit unusual for a European filly to have this many starts (6-3-2-1) but this daughter of "Danehill Dancer" has proven both tough and reliable. Another in the barn of Aidan O'Brien and she can win this with a powerful late burst which has been her style.

2nd pick: #4 (Rose Catherine) - Very impressive maiden win at Belmont last out in her first start on the turf. Daughter of "Speightstown" went right to the front in the six-furlong race and increased her margin at every pole. Final time and the figured earned were impressive. Threat on the front-end.

3rd pick: #2 (Elusive Galaxy) - European finished a pace-setting fourth at Woodbine in the "Natalma" Stakes (G3) on Sept. 19 in her first race on this continent. Daughter of "Elusive City" finished two lengths behind the top pick at Leopardstown in Ireland in early August. She's been in heavy training on this course for the past month. Player.

4th pick: #11 (Junia Tepzia) - Daughter of "Rock of Gibraltar" has won both of her starts in Italy and has done so with a tracking gear. Team Valor owned filly may be one of quality and she may sneak away at a square price.
