Top pick: #5 (RODINIA) - The probable favorite has improved in both starts since making her debut at Belmont on Sept. 14. She's finished second and third in her last pair and has problems at the start in both. This one-turn mile shouln't prove to be an obstacle and home-bred is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #1a (Strike Accord) - She's part of an entry with No. 1 "Berning Carbs" due to common ownership. Home-bred by "Smart Strike" finished third last out at Belmont at this distance on the turf and moves back to the main-track this afternoon.
