Top pick: #1 (BOBBY JO) (2-1) - Mare was a sharp winner here at this tag going six-furlongs Aug. 8. It was her first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim and ran her local record to 3-2-0-1. Can take another.
2nd pick: #7 (Very Cherry Candy) (9-5) - Freshened up since June 19, she was a bit sub-par that day after going 7-4-2-1 this year. Stalker takes a sizable drop in class and has done well at this distance in the past (8-1-3-0).
3rd pick: #6 (Guayana) (8-1) - Much improved since being claimed by Bruce Levine, filly ships back from Philly Park where she was an easy winner racing for 1/2 this tag going two-turns. 4yo has a fine record on dirt (18-4-8-1) and enters in career best shape.
4th pick: #2 (Rosie My Way) (5-1) - She finished an even third here at this tag going six-furlongs July 30. Good effort was her best in some time, and the extra furlong she travels today is in her favor.
