Top pick: #2 (ANTRIM COLLEEN) (3-1) - Beautifully bred filly was a bit sub par at Belmont on July 4, but had missed by only a "neck" in her previous effort. She has the rail, more early speed than most, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Queen's Parade) (2-1) - The "morning line" favorite, she's finished second in two straight at Belmont and is working well here for her first since July 4. Stalker is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #5 (Quarla) (5-1) - Daughter of "Mr Greeley" has been freshened up since late June when she was claimed by Chad Brown at Belmont for $65K. Barn doesn't claim very often, so this stretch runner must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Storm Now) (6-1) - Woodbine shipper is from a top barn (Roger Attfield), and he adds blinkers to this $450K daughter of "Tiznow." She fits on "figures," the distance is fine, and it's noted that leading rider Castellano is aboard.
