Top pick: #5 (KILNOCKAGAIN) (4-1) - She has a back class edge on most and four of her five lifetime wins have come on the main track. State-bred won a grass sprint at the Meadowlands on Sept. 21 and can come right back to take another on the switch back to the dirt.
2nd pick: #2 (Inaflash) (7-2) - Grey filly was a winner here on Sept. 7 when facing slightly weaker in her first race in almost four months. Freshened up since, she's training well for this and 4-year-old has done good work locally 8-1-3-2 and is 7-1-2-1 in the past on "off" going".
3rd pick: #6 (Coast of Sangria) (5-1) - Mare raced poorly at Saratoga Aug. 31 after winning two in a row in impressive fashion. New barn (Sydney Dutrow) has freshened her up for almost eight weeks and this veteran mare has an outstanding local record 6-4-1-0.
4th pick: #1 (Blue Ballerina) (12-1) - Speedy veteran is working very fast for her first start since late June. Filly draws the rail, gets in "light," and has gone 4-1-1-1 over wet tracks in the past.
