Top pick: #7 (CRISIS OF SPIRIT) - Daughter of "Vindication" races 3rd off a layoff, switches from the grass to the "poly", and shortens-up in distance. She has a big "bullet" drill five days ago and looks all-set this afternoon. She's one of a pair from trainer Bob Baffert and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #6 (Fund Raiser ) - The 2nd of the Baffert fillies has a great overall record (10-2-5-3) and finished a strong 2nd here on July 29th. She's worked fast since and is a very worthy opponent.
3rd pick: #4 (Softly Singing ) - One of a pair from the Jerry Hollendorfer barn and they'll race as separate interests. Has some speed and she'll get the addition of blinkers for the first time ( a 20% winning move by the barn).
