Top pick: #4 (DIVA'S GOLD) - Veteran mare has always loved this surface(13-4-6-2) and speed/stalker enters this in top form. Five-year-old missed by a head two back in a $100K stakes for fellow Pa. breds, and last out was an easy winner racing just below this level. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Surround Sound) - Very speedy 3-year-old is (15-4-5-4) this year and it's her first season of action. Speed/stalker has improved since being claimed by Patty Farro in July and this daughter of "Include" has finished second in two straight at this level.
3rd pick: #7 (Cherokee Trick) - Mare is 10-for-26 overall and just failed last out racing in an entry-level allowance here at this distance. Barn (Chris Englehart) wins a "ton" of races every year and have this 5-year-old spotted nicely in this starter-allowance. Win candidate.
