Top pick: #12 (MILKY YOUR WAY) - Entered for the main track only, she raced evenly at Saratoga when debuting on a sloppy surface on Aug. 10. Home-bred improved noticebally in her second appearance when she finished third of 13, beaten 3 1/2 lengths at the "Spa" on Aug 25th. Working well since and Dominguez gets aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #10 (Mela Dramatically) - Grey filly finished third in an "off the turf" contest at Saratoga on Aug. 10 in her only previous start on the main track. Fits, is improving, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Rapadize) - Speedy sort runs third back off a 4 1/2 month layoff and she improved a great deal in her second off the break. Filly finished second on the Tampa dirt facing "open" special weights on April 4th and is a threat today on the front end.
4th pick: #13 (Muhammara) - She had to be sent hard early when debuting from an inside post on the Saratoga turf and ran a bit rank. Home-bred is moved to the dirt and off the inside. Price play.
