Top pick: #2 (SMARTIE BOBBI) - She's one of a pair from trainer Angel Penna Jr. and the fillies will race uncoupled. This daughter of "Smarty Jones" is clearly improving and is working nicely locally for her first since July 1. The horse to beat in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #3 (Cranberry Queen ) - The second of the Penna fillies is a daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" and is also lightly raced and improving. Right behind the probable favorite "West Rim" last out and she has more room for improvement than that filly.
3rd pick: #4 (The West Rim) - The probable favorite has finished 2nd in three of her last four, and third in the other. Speed/stalker is an obvious win candidate, though she does have a bit of "hang" in her.
4th pick: #1 (Cat Be Nimble) - Has the rail, drops into a claimer, is in a good barn (Barclay Tagg), and she's working steadily. Has a shot at a square price.
