Top pick: #5 (BENNY'S BULLET ) (2-1) - Speedy filly has been freshened up since June 27 at Belmont. Four-year-old set a quick and pressured pace that day racing on the grass and held well to be beaten just over a length. Barn drops her in class and switches her back to the dirt. She's 3-for-6 on the main track and catches a field where she can go gate-to-wire.
2nd pick: #4 (Winning for Sarah) (5-2) - Philly Park invader ships here in career best form. Mare has won 3-of-4 since being claimed by Patty Farro in early March at Gulfstream Park. One-run type looks like a very serious threat with Castellano aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (D'Princess) (3-1) - Veteran is the only one in this small field who has won here in the past. Speed/stalker has been freshened up since May 22 when she finished 3-lengths behind 'Benny's Bullet.' Mare has won 7-of-19 starts on the dirt, has the rail, and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #6 (Sun and Moon) (8-1) - Filly enters off an even third-place finish here on the grass July 26. Stalker is dropping down a bit and switches to the dirt. A small slice would appear to be her ceiling.
