Top pick: #3 (SHARON SPAGETTI) - Filly took some betting action when debuting on a sloppy surface at Saratoga on Aug. 10 and showed some early speed while chasing the talented "Effie Trinket" before tiring to finish "off the board." She appears to face no such rival this afternoon and trainer Rudy Rodriguez wins at a 28% rate second-time out.
2nd pick: #7 (Watch Your Biz) - She's consistently shown good early speed in her races and last out held her position until mid-stretch racing on the Belmont turf. Home-bred has since come back with a bullet half-mile local drill and she should be a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Pearls for Girls) - She was purchased this past April at Ocala for $215K and is working sharply off-track as trainer Mike Matz prepares her for her debut. Daughter of "Greeley's Galaxy" is one of five making their first starts and is a major force if ready.
