Top pick: #3 (BROKEN DREAMS) - Veteran mare tries do defend her title in this stakes after winning the 2011 running oif this stakes last Sept. 30. Home-bred by "Broken Vow" has been a bit inconsistent since, but loves this "down the hill" trip (3-1-2-0). A bullet half mile breeze here (best of 43) six days ago suggests her readiness.
2nd pick: #9 (Kindle) - The field's wild card, comes into this off an impressive gate-to-wire score at Fairplex in a small stakes run at this distance on Sept. 21. Effort came off a 6 1/2 month layoff and was a career best. She'll be trying the grass for the first time and most by "Indian Charlie" relish the surface.
3rd pick: #6 (Byrama) - She's another who loves this 6.5 furlong trip going "down the hill" here (5-2-2-1) and last out rallied to win a small stakes at it on Sept. 29. 3-year-old is in sharp form and must be left in the mix.
