Top pick: #6 (TRICKY ZIPPY) (8-1) - Longshot enters with three straight impressive wins over weaker. She won her local debut when defeating fellow New York breds in a $100K stakes Aug. 20th. It career best shape, she worked a bullet half-mile just five days ago. Daughter of 'City Zip' faces much tougher, but I like her chances.
2nd pick: #10 (Cavorting) (2-1) - The probable favorite, filly is a perfect two-for-two here at Saratoga, and both have come in G1 stakes. Strong finisher rallied to take the seven furlong Test Stales Aug. 8th and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Fusaichi Red) (15-1) - Another longshot, she's been freshened up since winning Monmouth's Miss Woodford Stakes at this distance July 19. Stretch runner has worked here four times since and is from a very hot barn (George Weaver).
4th pick: #4 (Clothes Fall Off) (12-1) - Filly is from the same barn (Kiaran McLaughlin) as 'Cavortin,' and the pair race uncoupled. She's gone 4-1-3-0 to date, all in dirt sprints. This is her first time facing stakes competition.
