Top pick: #5 (HOMESTEAD) - Excellent debut saw her rally while widest and miss by a neck racing at this level going the distance at Delaware Park August 25th. "Hall of Famer" Jonathan Sheppard brings her back quickly and jockey Juan Pimentel makes the trip with her.
2nd pick: #2 (Life's Candy) - Filly finished a close-up third here on June 17th in her first off a trainer change to Carl Doran and she showed improved early speed that afternoon. Training fine at Fair Hill, she breaks near the rail and should be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Rusilia) - The possible favorite, she was bet heavily when debuting at Saratoga on August 17th and finished a close-up third in a small field (five) racing for a $65K tag. She's worked twice since and trainer Chris Clement wins at a, 18% clip 2nd time out.
