Top pick: #2 (ZERO YIELD) - She had a terrible start in her debut here August 3, facing special weights, sprinting on the grass. Daughter of "Badge of Silver" did well to finish fifth of nine, beaten 6 lengths. Trainer Chad Brown will drop her into a claimer, switch her to the dirt, and lets her travel an extra furlong in this spot. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Thunder Lily) - She's been competitive in all five starts and races third back off almost a half-year's absence. Latest saw her race wide and evenly here going a mile on the turf July 29. She has the rail, has good dirt form, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Skiddles N' Bob) - The third runner going turf-to-dirt and she's displayed consistent early speed in her races on both dirt and grass. I think she's going right to the front to play "catch me if you can."
