Top pick: #8 (ACK NAUGHTY) (8-5) - Very lightly raced filly has been on the sidelines since late October when she finished 2nd at Belmont in a stakes facing 'open' company. She's working steadily for a top barn (Chad Brown) and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #10 (Courageisamajority) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' has a recency edge on 'Ack Naughty.' She broke her maiden at Belmont June 15 and has improved noticeably since Lasix was added. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Smilingsundae) (15-1) - Longshot moves back to the turf after breaking her maiden in a switched contest at Belmont July 1. Speedy sort retains Castellano, and filly has a shot at a very big price.
4th pick: #5 (Aesthetique) (15-1) - Veteran is racing second back off a layoff and finished a close up 4th here last year at this level. Speed/stalker fits with her best and is another who has a chance at a huge price.
5th pick: #1 (Resolutely) (12-1) - Longshot has the rail, is in shape, and finished 2nd at Belmont July 3 racing at this level. Speed/stalker is dangerous at a big price.
