Top pick: #6 (SPECIAL OFFER) (3-1) - Lightly raced home bred chased and tired last out facing tougher here on Aug. 24. Good barn (Allen Iwinski) has her working nicely, will be dropping her down in class, and cutting her back in distance.
2nd pick: #3 (Up All Night) (4-1) - Speedy filly tired badly here on Aug. 10 racing for a 410K tag. Claimed that afternoon by "Lupe" Guerrero, he's freshened her up for almost two months and has her working fast. New barn wins at a 25% rate first off the claim, and this daughter of "El Corredor" is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Consuela) (6-1) - Home bred showed little when debuting here facing Pa-bred special weights Sept. 16. Capable barn (Cynthia Reese) drops her way down in class, and daughter of "Stonesider" is moving from grass to dirt and breaks from the rail.
4th pick: #7 (Irv's Kid) (2-1) - Maryland invader finished second in a small field (four) when debuting Aug. 24 at the Timonium Fair. She regressed in her latest at Laurel and trainer Chris Grove drops her to a new low in this spot. It's a plus that jockey Forrest Boyce is coming in for the mount.
