Top pick: #4 (SHINING AMERICA) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, filly just missed when debuting here at this $25K tag July 19th. Claimed that afternoon by Marc Zulueta, she raced evenly when facing tougher special weights on Aug. 9. barn brings her back quickly, drops her down to the purchase price, and gives her a rider upgrade.

2nd pick: #6 (Velvet Sandy) (5-2) - "Sandy" has good early speed and has been competitive in both starts since dropping down to this $25K claiming price. Daughter of "Rock Slide" should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #3 (Anythingicandoforu) (7-2) - Useful debut here on Aug. 5 saw her rally while wide to check in third of nine, beaten 2 1/2 lengths. She was 1 1/2 lengths better than "Velvet Sandy" that day and is an obvious threat right back.

4th pick: #2 (Mozzarella) (15-1) - She tired badly after showing fine early speed in the same Aug. 5 contest that both "Velvet Sandy" and "Anythingicandoforu" exit. She may have bled that day as a capable small barn (Raph Kissoon) adds Lasix for this attempt. May last for a share at a big price.
