Top pick: #6 (HONEY MOU) - She's been competitive in all three starts since trainer Mark Hennig removed her blinkers on June 22 and enters this off a fourth-place finish here on the grass racing for $20K on Sept. 18. Previous start at Saratoga saw her finish second. Drops down a bit, goes turf-to-dirt, and runs third back off a two month break. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Ready For Autumn) - She has the best early speed of this below average field and last out set the pace before tiring to finish fourth at this price 17 days ago. Effort was her best since coming back from almost a year's layoff and she's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Little Reya) - She's raced very poorly in her last pair after being competitive in several starts facing tougher. Moves to the rail after breaking widest last out and she could grab a share at a big price.
