Top pick: #3 (CAPRIANA) (8-5) - The probable favorite, lightly-raced daughter of 'Street Boss' rallied from close range to miss by a 'neck' racing here at this level Aug 10. In the Pletcher barn, she still has unlimited potential and has a tactical advantage on her main rival.
2nd pick: #1 (Ack Naughty) (9-5) - She's gone 4-2-2-0 to date all on the turf at this mile trip. Filly by 'Afleet Alex' was one of the most impressive winners at this meet when defeating fellow New York bred allowance foes Aug 16. She rtaed early, made a wide sweeping move on the far turn, then drew away to win by almost 5-lengths. She's another who still has more improvement in her. The only danger.
3rd pick: #4 (Take It Inside) (15-1) - Veteran mare tries hard every time and ships back from Delaware where she tired facing 'open' company Aug 10. Back in with fellow New York breds, she's capable of getting a minor award at long odds.
4th pick: #5 (Graceful Gal) (12-1) - Even-paced type was 5 1/2 behind 'Capriana' last out with no major excuser. Like 'Take It Inside,' she may get a small slice of this at a big price.
