Top pick: #1 (ANNIE ROE) - She was way overmatched last out in a sprint stakes just one week ago and did herself no favors by breaking slowly. She has the rail, this is her favorite distance (16-6-2-2) and grey mare was especially sharp around the same time last year.
2nd pick: #2 (With Moms Blessing) - Speedy veteran has been freshened up since early in the summer when she finished second here in three straight at this level. 6-year-old had a near bullet half-mile breeze Aug. 14, and if ready with her best will be involved from gate to wire.
