Top pick: #7 (CONGRESS PARK) (4-1) - Stalker has been freshened up since May 30. Daughter of 'Divine Park' tired in the final furlong last out going 7-furlongs on the Belmont grass. It was her first since mid-November and she's been working sharply for this attempt. She went 3-0-1-2 last year on the grass and has Castellano back aboard after a one-race absence.
2nd pick: #2 (Sauvignon) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and clearly improving, filly missed by less than a length July 8 at Belmont going 7-furlongs. Training fast since, daughter of the grass loving 'Shakespeare' is a win candidate in this afternoon's finale.
3rd pick: #1 (Spa Duchess) (8-1) - Freshened up since June 20, home bred by 'Tale of the Cat' has raced evenly in all three starts, each on the grass at this level. She has the rail and can factor today at a big price.
4th pick: #10 (Kathy's Humor) (8-) - Un-raced since March 22, filly is racing on the grass and around two-turns, both for the first time. Training fine and her connections are racing her with blinkers on for her comebacker.
5th pick: #9 (Weather Girl) (10-1) - She improved in her second start when trainer Steve Asmussen moved her to the grass. By turf champ 'Artie Schiller,' she's making back-to-back starts and trying a longer trip, both for the first time.
