Top pick: #5 (WILLET) - She was a very impressive maiden winner here in an "off the turf" contest on Sept. 25. Making only her second start, she tracked early from an outside post, took over when asked, and drew away to a 14 1/2 length win in very fast time. Trainer Jim Iselin has worked her since and she takes the next logical step up the ladder.
2nd pick: #1 (Keiko) - She was also a easy maiden winner last out when she rallied from just off the pace to win a "switched" contest at Saratoga on Sept. 5. Working steadily since, and the Asmussen barn is having a strong meet.
3rd pick: #6 (Superior Sarah) - She finished a strong second here at this level on Sept. 28 in her first off a seven-week freshening. Race was her best to date and a repeat of it makes her a threat.
