Premium Pick
(# 6) INTIMATE TALES - Claimed by Frank Monteleone last out, and barn is batting 20% first off the buy. Taken from a top barn in Ed Moger, she has run well in both starts and chased a wire-to-wire winner in latest. Trainer names his go-to man Victor Espinoza, and they are 18 of their last 54 together.

(# 1) Spanish Heat - Claimed by Dan Hendricks from Barry Abrams on August 31 for $40,000. Barn doesn't claim very often, and this filly was well supported in her only appearance. Working well here and expecting her to run well.

(# 7) Getinthreronetime - Drops into a claimer for trainer Cliff Sise, and this Cal-bred has run in a pair of stakes in her last two. Has been near the top early on, and would expect her to show her speed on the drop.

(# 's 10 and 11) Queen of the I.E. and Seattle Ave - Would use this pair in small exacta boxes with the top pair.
