Top pick: #1 (GREEK LIFE) (7-2) - Veteran mare ships in from the mid-West where she's gone 17-6-3-0 racing on the dirt. Stalking type is 4-for-11 at this distance and breaks from the rail. In shape 5yo had a quick 5-furlong local breeze July 27 and has Castellano aboard. Jockey went 2-1-1-0 on her this past spring in Kentucky.
2nd pick: #5 (Time for Angie) (3-1) - She was impressive when winning for a $16K tag June 28 at Belmont. Filly was making her East Coast debut that day and was racing off almost an eight-week break. She races first off a Gary Gullo claim and has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Darling Bridezilla) (6-1) - Hard-hitting mare is 24-5-4-4 in her career on the dirt and is at a level and distance that she thrives at. Veteran has a flexible style, is in shape, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #10 (Henry's Gal) (8-1) - Speed/stalker halves in value as New York bred moves in with 'open' company. She's been competitive in three straight at Belmont and is a factor if able to avoid a wide trip from her outside post.
