Top pick: #7 (SPECTACULAR ME) (7-2) - Veteran mare looks to become the only three-time winner at this meet. Grey 5yo has been a terror in grass sprints over the past 20 months, going 27-9-8-1. One-run type is in top form and should get a fast/and or contested pace to close into. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Hinder) (5-1) - Very quick from the gate, she went wire-to-wire here at this distance when defeating entry-level allowance foes Aug 3. A career best overall and she's worked very fast since.

3rd pick: #1 (Simple Love) (6-1) - One-run type was only a 'nose' behind 'Spectacular Me' at Belmont in late June. Freshened up since, this may not be her best distance. She does have the rail and is a stretch threat if able to avoid any traffic issues from her inside post.

4th pick: #2 (Runway Ready) (5-1) - Speed/stalker set a quick pace before tiring to finish last of five when racing here in a small stakes Aug 2. It was her first start since April 11 and she can grab a share with normal 2nd back improvement.

5th pick: #9 (Iroquois Girl) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she ran a solid third here at this level and distance Aug 13. It was her first start in 13 months and mare was only a length behind 'Spectacular Me.' She draws a tough outside post and will need some pace help for any shot at the win end.
