Top pick: #8 (CHELAN ECHO) (5-2) - She enters off a career best when she finished second here at this tag & trip on Aug. 5th. Racing back into shape following several layoffs, and filly is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Fleet Lauren) (3-1) - Speedy sort set a quick & pressured pace and held gamely to just miss racing here at this tag July 15. Solid effort was her first ever on the turf, and a repeat makes her a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Arzella) (12-1) - Filly ships in from Ohio, and runs for the first time since June 5. She has early speed, gets blinkers on, drops into a claimer, stretches out in distance, and runs on the turf for the first time.
4th pick: #6 (Summer Opera) (8-1) - Nicely-bred filly is another dropping, stretching-out, and trying the grass for the first time. In a capable barn, and a threat.
5th pick: #5 (Bold Annie) (6-1) - Home-bred has improved in both starts since moving to the grass, and last out was two back of "Echo" while racing wide. In the mix.
