Top pick: #4 (YES IT'S PINK) - The probable favorite, she comes off a troubled 2nd place finish at Saratoga at this level going a two-turn mile on the grass Aug 16th. Trainer Chris Clement has worked her twice since and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (Clever Spirit) - Much improved of late, she's (3-0-1-2) since early June and comes off career best back-toback starts at Saratoga. Home-bred by "Smarty Jones" has a fine maintenance drill 8 days ago and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Flirtatious Spring) - She tired badly here a wekk ago in a contest that was taken off the turf. it was her first off a two month break and it's nice to see trainer Linda Rice bring her back quickly.
