Top pick: #1 (STELLAR WIND) (7-5) - The probable favorite, she's won three of her last four, all stakes and ran 4th in the 'Kentucky Oaks' (G1) in her only defeat during that string. Strong finisher is working fast, has the rail, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Big Book) (5-2) - Undefeated (three-for-three), Cal bred is moving in with 'open' company and trying a two-turn distance, both for the first time. Speed/stalker has early speed, and that makes her dangerous against this small group.
3rd pick: #3 (Roksana) (8-1) - Filly moves back in with her own age group after finishing 3rd here facing a solid field of older runners July 22. She's two-for-three at this distance and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Ultimate Holiday) (10-1) - Another sprinter that's stretching out, she defeated older foes here Aug. 8th going 6.5-furlongs. In shape and may grab a minor award at long odds.
