Top pick: #6 (THE LADY SAYS YES) - One of two first-time starters entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. Most all of the foals by "Scat Daddy" love the grass and the trainer's main rider (J.J. Castellano) is aboard this filly who has been training steadily since early June.
2nd pick: #3 (John's Mariah) - She's one of three fillies who have already had race day experience and last out rallied to finish second here sprinting on a muddy surfsce for a $50K tag on Aug. 5. Moves back to the turf and trainer Carlos Martin will stretch her out in distance.
3rd pick: #1 (J Rose Gal) - Home-bred filly has worked four times locally in the past month and three of the four were solid drills on the Oklahoma turf course. She breaks from the rail and trainer Dom Schettino wins at a fine 20% rate first time out on this tough circuit.
