Top pick: #1 (THE LADY SAYS YES) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's gone 4-0-3-1 in her brief career and strong finisher has been freshened up by trainer Chad Brown since finishing second at Belmont on May 22nd in her first start in a half-year. Daughter of "Scat Daddy" ran well when debuting on this course in late Aug. and is the horse to beat, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #4 (Coriander) (8-1) - Price play raced well at Belmont on June 16th in her first start since Dec. 6. Four-year-old home-bred has some speed and with any improvement at all she can factor at long odds.
3rd pick: #2 (You So Smart) (4-1) - She's had problems at the break in both starts this year, and last out did well to finish 5th of 11, beaten just underr two lengths at Belomt on July 7th. Dangerous with a "clean" getaway.
4th pick: #3 (Sophie's Turn) (10-1) - She improved her position after being virtually elimainated at the break when debuting going 7 furlongs on the Belmont lawn on June 20th. "Johnny V" is signed on and this filly could impact at a big price.
5th pick: #5 (Left Uppercut) (15-1) - Matties home-bred comes off a career best when she ran second to a heavy favorite at Belmont at this level and distance on June 16th. Local barn has won a race her several times in the past and may grab a small share at very long odds.
