Top pick: #6 (VAN DIEN BELLE) (3-1) - She comes off a career best when she rallied to miss by less than a length in her second back from almost a seven month layoff. Lightly-raced filly by "In Excess" has run well in all three grass races and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Warren's Dixi Bell) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly stretches out in distance and goes "poly" to grass in this spot. She showed good speed sprinting in her return and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #11 (Sidepocket Run) (7-2) - On the also-eligible list, she needs another scratch to run, but strong finisher is a win candidate if she draws in.
4th pick: #2 (Gypsy Friday) (6-1) - Speed/stalker is another stretching out in distance in her third back from almost a 13 month layoff. She's been sharp in both return races going shorter and should be involved today from gate-to-wire.
5th pick: #1 (Tickle Again) (8-1) - Longshot has some speed, draws the rail, and comes off a career best here on July 25th. Race was her firt in two months and 5-year-old has worked four times since.
