Top pick: #3 (GIRLABOUTTOWN) (8-5) - Broman home bred was an impressive 10 1/2 length maiden winner here going six-furlongs in 1:10.20 July 23. Daughter of "A.P.Indy" has worked twice since and has a big recency edge on her main rival. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Blithely) (5-1) - Grey filly just missed here a year ago, but came back a month later at Belmont to break her maiden by 11 1/2 lengths traveling the six-furlongs in 1:11 flat. Working steadily for her return and an obvious threat if fully "cranked" off the long layoff.
3rd pick: #4 (Threehailmary's) (8-1) - She's cutting back in distance, going turf to dirt, and racing with blinkers on for the first time. Home bred by "Repent" has gone 4-1-1-2 racing on dirt and should be competitive in this spot.
4th pick: #2 (Very Accomplished) (4-1) - Filly tired badly racing on a muddy surface going 1 1/8th miles here July 27. She's worked fast twice since and had gone 4-2-1-0 in her previous four dirt sprints.
