Top pick: #8 (GRANDPA'S PRINCESS) (9-2) - Lightly-raced filly enters off a wide and even fourth-place finish here at this tag going 6-furlongs Aug 6. Useful effort and it's noted she was bet down to 5-2 favoritism. With this race moved to main track at 7-furlongs, Three-year-old draws a fine outside post and is 2-1-1-0 on 'off' tracks.

2nd pick: #7 (La Inesparada) (4-1) - Filly has a fine record racing on the dirt 5-1-2-2 and enters off a career best figure earned here going 1 1/8th miles July 30. She just missed that day and is dropping down a bit and shortening up in distance.

3rd pick: #2 (Star Dynasty) (5-1) - Speedy filly is well bred and lightly raced. She broke her maiden here going 6-furlongs for a $30K tag July 27. It was her first start in two months and 3-year-old was claimed that afternoon by trainer Danny Gargan. She's worked fast since and plenty of room for upside.

4th pick: #4 (Tachiello) (4-1) - She's racing first off a Gary Gullo claim (12%) and he moves her from turf to dirt. Her lone win came on a sloppy track at the Fair Grounds last Dec. and it's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard for this attempt.
