Top pick: #4 (HOUSE RULES) (2-1) - Stalker gets some "class" relief after competing in four straight "Graded" stakes. She has a new trainer (Jimmy Jerkens, 21% with new arrivals), and he's having a very strong meet (15-5-1-2). Working well locally, and she'll be tough with her best.

2nd pick: #3 (Madaket Millie) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly by "Giant's Causeway" just missed here at this level and distance July 23. It was her first in just over two months and first ever on the dirt. Speedy sort should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #1 (Unbridledexplosion) (3-1) - She was a "neck" better than "Millie" last out, and has worked twice since. She once again draws the ground saving rail and is in the three-horse win mix.

4th pick: #5 (Another Incident) (10-1) - The field's lone multiple winner, she was a winner here going seven-furlongs facing upper-level starter-allowance foes July 21. Improving sort ran a career best "figure" that day and still has room for upside.
