Top pick: #2 (DELIGHTFUL QUALITY) (7-5) - She comes off a troubled effort when running second in a small field (5) here in the $98K "Shine Again" stakes on Aug. 5. Consistent (9-2-5-2) Darley home-bred can take this with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #3 (Five Star Momma) (6-1) - Filly set a pressured pace and tired late to finish third, a 1/2 length back of "Quality" last out. Race was her best since early April and she should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #4 (Alexandra's Grace) (4-1) - Lightly-raced stalker finished second here at this level going 7 furlongs on July 24th. It was her first back from a seven week freshening and she'll be cutting back a furlong in this spot.

4th pick: #6 (Maracuya) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced filly is working fast for her first since July 13th and will be cutting back in distance and will race with blinkers on. Filly won her debut at this distance at Gulfstream and can factor if ready.
