Top pick: #2 (MAGICAL MOON) (5-2) - Filly is racing for only the second time since last fall when she was competitive in three straight stakes sprinting on the grass. 4yo daughter of "Malibu Moon" likes this course (2-1-1-0) and is training nicely for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Indian Splendor) (3-1) - Monmouth shipper enters in career best form and just missed here a year ago at this level and distance. Speed/stalker just missed in a small stake last out, and a repeat of that effort makes her a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Double the Energy) (12-1) - Veteran has won six of 14 races on the turf and is three for seven sprinting on it. Grey mare has a flexible style and is cutting back in distance for this contest.
4th pick: #5 (Spun Silky) (4-1) - Stalker rallied to finish third here at this level and distance on Aug. 4. It was her first since June 15, and mare by "Hard Spun" likes turf sprinting (8-3-0-3). Stretch threat.
