Top pick: #3 (LITTLE ROCKET) (2-1) - The probable favorite, lightly-raced Schwartz home-bred takes a big drop in class after finishing 5th of 6, beaten a half-dozen lengths here in the "Prioress" stakes (G1) on July 27th. She's worked since, runs third off a six month layoff, and should beat these with her best.
2nd pick: #1 (Keep Bustin) (3-1) - Originally part of a Bruce Levine trained entry, he scratched the other half and sends out this consistent 9-4-3-1 Valente home-bred. Filly just missed here at this level on a muddy surface on Aug. 8 in her first off a seven week freshening and is the main danger.
3rd pick: #8 (Princess Mara) (8-1) - Mare races second off a Gary Contessa claim and a subsequent two month break. She raced evenly in her return on Aug. 7 going two turns on the grass and will be moving back to the dirt and cutting-back in distance. Price play in the exacta.
4th pick: #2 (Lender's Way) (6-1) - Filly has some closing punch and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into. Can factor late if that's the case.
