Top pick: #8 (SUBTLE) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, mare has won five of nine starts at this distance, all on the grass. In this off the turf contest trainer Jay Servis has left her in, so he must think she'll handle the "off" going. Castellano is aboard and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Hot Squezze) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and talented, she was a gate-to-wire winner here at this distance on the grass July 23rd. Her trainer (George Weaver) has had a very strong meet and he has her racing on the dirt for the first time. Win threat.
3rd pick: #2 (My Jopia) (4-1) - Stalker has gone 7-1-1-1 on the dirt in the past and this mare won a grass stakes here two years ago. Can factor with her best.
4th pick: #10 (Your Time Is Up) (15-1) - Longshot showed nothing here on a sloppy surface July 31st, but had run much better in her previous pair at Belmont. She has more wins on the dirt (4) than the rest of the field combined (3) and may factor at a big price.
