Top pick: #1 (GO UNBRIDLED) - Deep closer has been entered and scratched several times looking for the right spot and this 9 furlong allowance/optional claimer looks like it. Has the rail and can save all the ground before launching her rally. 4yo catches a field that she can run down in the last furlong.
2nd pick: #9 (D' Oratory) - The probable favorite hails from the barn of Jim Bond, who won yesterday's G1 Whitney with Tiznow. She's been freshened-up since a poor effort at Belmont May 18 but had run well in all 5 prior starts. Working fine locally and she defeated our top pick in early Dec. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Life's Measure) - The main speed and filly is coming off a career best at Belmot June 29 when she just missed facing "open" starter-allowance foes going 7 furlongs. Daughter of "Chapel Royal" has won around two turns in the past and is the main speed. Very dangerous on the front end.
