Top pick: #3 (ROMAN REIGN) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well bred filly is moving from turf to dirt and dropping in class. Daughter of "Roman Ruler" has raced evenly after breaking a bit slowly in her first pair and she probably has more talent than shown to date. Home bred meets a weak field and former stepplechase rider Peter Pugh has her spotted nicely this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (On a Snowy Evening) (5-1) - Filly by "Frost Giant" is working sharply for her first since tiring going 9-furlongs at Saratoga on July 30. Stalking type draws the rail and has run well on an "off" surface in the past.
3rd pick: #7 (Glenbrook) (7-2) - Unraced since June 12th, filly has shown early speed in her first pair and will race with Lasix administered in her return to action. Working steadily and a win threat if ready.
4th pick: #4 (Marriedtomichael) (8-1) - Lightly raced filly has early speed and is another taking the drop into claiming land for the first time. Can factor in this spot from gate-to-wire.
