Top pick: #6 (SHE'SA BEAUTYQUEEN) - Daughter of "Strong Hope" missed by a 1/2 length last out here racing for $25K on a very muddy track. Race was her first in almost 4 1/2 months and first in blinkers. Trainer Keith Lebarron brings her back quickly (17 days) and gives her a confident raise in price. 3-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Twillerbee) - Monmouth shipper has taken money in all three starts and finished second at Delaware when debuting in early July. Trainer Kelly Breen drops her into a claimer for the first time and she draws the rail, the best post in these 5-furlong sprints. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Ebony Run) - She's only raced once and that was at Belmont in June of 2010. Working fine, she's in a new barn (Cathal Lynch) and trainer wins at a solid 27% rate off of long layoffs.
