Top pick: #2 (SHERIFFA) (9-2) - The probable favorite, lightly-raced filly has gone 4-0-1-3 at this level since returning from a five month layoff April 23rd. In her latest on July 2nd at Belmont, home bred by "Posse" was beaten a neck by the hard-hitting "Bridgetta" and that earned her a career best figure. Working well for this and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Letsshootpool) (8-1) - One of two veterans shipping in from Finger Lakes and mare has gone 5-0-3-1 racing there at this level. One-run type should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into and is a threat at a big price.

3rd pick: #5 (Daddy's Little Saint) (5-1) - Inconsistent sort is cutting back in distance after chasing a fast pace and tiring to finish fifth of seven, going a mile at this level July 12th at Belmont. Blinkers go on this daughter of "Scat Daddy" and home bred should factor in this spot.

4th pick: #4 (Readygetsgold) (10-1) - The other invader from Finger Lakes, mare has more wins on wet tracks (2) than the rest of the field combined (0), and is racing first off a Jeremiah Englehart claim (21%). The faster the pace, the better her chances.
