Top pick: #1 (THETRAINWASGONE) - Nicely-bred filly has shown some fine early speed in two of her four appearances and they've all come against tougher state-bred special weight competition. Trainer Tom Bush will drop this daughter of "Silver Train" into a claimer for the first time and she draws the rail. Tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (The Pretty Cat) - Price play was bet down to favoritism here 15 days ago, but had an extremely wide trip while racing evenly. Trainer Chris Englehart will add blinkers for the first time, and that's a 33% winning move (15 for 46) by the successful barn.
3rd pick: #9 (Azasecret) - Speedy filly has finished second in her last pair, both racing at this tag and trip at Belmont. Another getting blinkers on, and that's a 20% winning angle for trainer Jimmy Jerkens. Obvious contender, but she amy be over-bet.
4th pick: #5 (Sharpandwitty) - She's lightly raced, makes back-to-back starts for the first time, and takes the same big drop as "Thetrainwasgone." Working well and last out raced evenly facing tougher after a "troubled" break on the Belmont lawn on Oct. 12.
