Top pick: #2 (DERWIN'S STAR) - Stakes winning filly returns today for her first start since winning the $400K Charles Town Oaks on Sept. 18th. She's working fast and frequently for trainer Mike Trombetta and has won off of layoffs in the past. The top pick, but reverse your exactas, as this field drew tough.
2nd pick: #7 (Brilliant Sunshine) - Price play finished an even third here May 28th in the $200K My Juliet S. in her first back off a four-month break and is "wheeled back" quickly (10 days) by trainer John Servis. Draws a good post for her stalking style and she's a threat at a nice price if she runs.
3rd pick: #5 (Bright Abyss) - Hard-hitting mare loves this surface (23-8-7-5) and this particular distance (7-2-2-2). In-shape and she can be in this from start-to-finish at a square price.
