Top pick: #1a (GREED AND FEAR) - She's part on an entry due to common ownership with No. 1 "Alexandra's Grace" and with separate riders listed it's possible both may go. Filly runs first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 215 winning angle) annd 3-year-old has run well in all three appearances. Working fast and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (It's Saturday Nite) - The probable favorite, she finished a close-up third when racing at this level and distance at saratoga on August 17th. Home-bred daughter of "Put It Back" has a bullet workjust six days ago and I almost made her the top pick.
3rd pick: #4 (Villanesca) - Most of trainer Kiaran McLaughlin's maidens run much better second time out (27%) and this Darley home-bred was away slowly and ran evenly in her debut at Saratoga on Aug. 30. Look for a competitive effort today.
