Top pick: #10 (WILREIGN) - Daughter of "Saint Liam" won at this price and distance despite a troubled trip a month ago as she cleared the 2L condition. Trainer Bob Reid brings her back at the same price as she moves one step up to try 3L competition for the first time. Filly draws a good post, is lightly raced, and has room to improve. A repeat of her last effort can win this.
2nd pick: #1a (Certain to Rain) - PA.-bred chased and tired 13 days ago facing tougher at this distance in her first start since July 13. Her connections bring her back quickly and drop her into a career soft spot. Draws a good post and she can factor with her best.
3rd pick: #3 (Casa's Value) - Speedy filly tired badly facing tougher on a muddy surface Feb. 28 and it was the third time that she's run poorly on a wet track. If you take away those starts and her three turf efforts she has a very good overall mark. Her early speed makes her very dangerous.
