Top pick: #3 (STARFORMER) - She rallied to finish third here on July 30 despite a tough trip and a slow pace to rally into. She closed very fast that day in her North American debut and first race in just over 60 days. The pace here looks quicker and filly can run them down late.
2nd pick: #5 (Puzzling) - She's won two in a row, is still improving, and this beautifully-bred filly looked especially sharp when winning here on August 3. Her trainer ("Shug" McGaughey) has quietly had a great meet and this runner must be considered a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Divalarious) - Lightly-raced and improving is working fast for trainer Chad Brown as she prepares for her first start in two months. Filly has won both her grass starts going around two-turns and this professional stalker must be left in the mix.
