Top pick: #7 (TAPITUDE) - Strong finisher is lightly raced and last out rallied to finish second here at this level going 7 furlongs on Sept. 13. Only her third back off a 13 1/2 month layoff and she's since come back with a pair of nice works at Saratoga. Trainer Chad Brown stretches her out to a mile and Dominguez stays put.
2nd pick: #5 (Royal Suspicion) - Consistent sort ships up from Philly park where she's finished second in back to back starts in mid-level starter-allowances. Adept on "off" going and her stalking style should have her good position turning for home.
3rd pick: #1 (Victoryat Last) - Charles Town invader has had a solid year (8-3-0-2) and is 2-for-3 in her career on "off" tracks. Capable barn sends her north and this daughter of "Victory Gallop" has won on this surface in the past.
