Top pick: #3 (IMPROVISING) - Improving quickly at this point, this speedy daughter of "Theatrical" finished second when dropped down to this price last out. Trainer Mike Mattine brings her back four weeks later at that same level and distance and this 3-year-old will be very tough to beat on the front-end.
2nd pick: #6 (Dalida Cat) - Daughter of "Grand Slam" runs today off a 6 1/2 month layoff, for a new trainer (Carolyn Costigan) and filly is working steadily for her return to action. Drops in price and runs on a synthetic surface for the first time, and can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Sweet May West) - She's finished second in half of her six starts and last out lost all chance at the start when she "bubbled" badly. Stalker has come back with a sharp work Sept. 1 and can impact today with an alert beginning.
