Top pick: #5 (TONASAH) (9-5) - One of two entered by leading trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. No secret in her debut at Belmont July 2, she was bet down to 4-5 and couldn't have been any more impressive. She broke running, set fast fractions, and coasted home by 5 1/2 lengths. She's worked four times here since then and all have been above average.
2nd pick: #7 (Just Wicked) (3-1) - Grey daughter of top sire 'Tapit' broke her maiden here going 5.5-furlongs July 24. A sharp score and stalker draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong distance. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Decked Out) (8-1) - The field's most experienced filly, daughter of 'Street Boss' finished a distant 3rd here in the G3 Schuylerville Stakes July 24. She broke poorly from her rail post and had been much sharper in her previous pair. A factor with an alert break.
4th pick: #1 (Delicate Lady) (6-1) - The 2nd of the Pletcher pair, she ships in from Arlington Park where she was an easy debut winner on the all weather surface there July 2. Working well since arriving, filly races first time for Pletcher (a 23% winning angle). Lasix and Johnny Velasquez are added.
