Top pick: #3 (LONG LEGGED LOVELY ) - Finished a strong second at this level on the Fairplex dirt Sept. 19 and did so from a tough outside post. She has the best early speed, has run well on this surface before, stretches out in distance, and Bejarano (whose ridden her before) is back aboard. Her speed gives her a tactical edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Warren's Rose) - Filly just missed here sprinting at this level five days ago and trainer Doug O'Neill brings her back on short notice and stretches her out in distance. Has the rail and is an obvious win candidate. It's of note that Bejarano, who rode her last out, chooses the top pick over her. Win candidate despite that fact.
