Top pick: #6 (TAR HEEL MOM) - Wonderful mare has won 11-of-28 overall and is 3-for-4 on this surface, including an easy win last out in the G2 Honorable Miss S. August 7. Likes this distance(8-3-3-0), is working fast, and draws a nice post to use her speed/stalking talent. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Sassy Image) - She has talent, but her career has been broken up by layoffs of varying lengths. She rallied from far back to win the G1 Princess Rooney at Calder on July 9 and that came after wins in the G1 Humana Distaff and the G3 Winning Colors. Daughter of "Broken Vow" should get a lively pace to rally into. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Hilda's Passion) - Very fast filly from the Pletcher barn is a bit unpredictable, but when she getas a clear early lead she's as good as any older female sprinter around. She's 7-for-13 overall and last year was an easy winner in a small stakes in her only previous local appearance. Working fast and a major danger.
