Top pick: #7 (BLAZING ALONG) - Expensive filly was sent to Saratoga this past summer, but had a very troubled trip and after an failed attempt next out on the Belmont turf, trainer Bob Baffert returned her to the West Coast. Filly is working very fast on this surface for her first race in 70 days and she'll the horse to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #9 (So Tempted) - Daughter of "Broken Vow" has been well bet in both of her starts and last out at Churchill on the dirt she broke in the air from an outside post and raced evenly once in stride. Home-bred was working fast locally for this and is a win candidate at a nice price.
3rd pick: #2 (Hey Maria) - Well bet in her first pair, filly showed good early speed in each before tiring in both and those two contests had very tough fields. Working fast on this surface for her first start in almost four months, she draws a nice inside post, and should be in this from start to finish.
