Top pick: #2 (JUSBHONORABLE) - She showed an improved effort in her second start when she pressed the pace, reached the front in mid-stretch, then tired to finish second. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez has given her a month to recover and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Tatoo Me) - Another who improved second time out when she rallied to finish third here despite some trouble at the start. Trainer Gary Contessa brings her back quickly (nine days) and she's a factor again today.
3rd pick: #6 (Mattie's Warrior) - Drops and goes turf-to-dirt after a nice educational debut here facing slightly tougher on the grass on Sept. 22. Dominguez is aboard today so the barn must like her chances.
