Top pick: #9 (A.P. HUTCHY) - The probable favorite, she missed by a neck at Belmont sprinting at this level on July 1st. Race was her first since Oct. 14 and trainer Linda Rice had her work here on July 15th. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Azasecret) - Woodbine shipper was heavily bet in her debut and she had to rush up to chase the pace after being "bumped" and "squezzed" at the break. Capable barn (Josie Carroll), move her to the grass, and race her against fellow state-breds for the first time.
3rd pick: #5 (Fujiana) - Filly has been freshened up since a poor effort at Belmont Park on May 2nd. She'd finished second in her previous start going a mile and trainer Tom Bush worked her four times during the month of July to get her ready for this attempt.
4th pick: #7 (It's Your Dime) - Lasix is added by veteran trainer Steve DiMauro after she set a pressured pace and held to finish second when debuting in a Belmont grass sprint July 15th. This daughter of "Freud's" early speed makes her a threat.
