Top pick: #6 (GNARLEY GIRL) (3-1) - Grey filly just failed here when facing tougher on Sept. 27. It was her first off a Marc Zulueta claim and he drops her down in price for today's attempt. The extra furlong she travels in this spot is a plus and 4-year-old gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Wild Nicole) (7-2) - Mare has rallied to win two in a row here at this price tag and has gone 5-2-1-1 at Philly Park since coming from So. California early in the summer. Win candidate again.
3rd pick: #4 (Nice n' Sweet) (4-1) - Speed/stalker was an easy winner two back here for a $10K tag on Aug. 30, then tired badly in her latest when facing slightly tougher. A repeat of the figure in her latest win would make her a threat.
4th pick: #7 (Tiara Gold) (8-1) - Lightly-raced filly finished second here at this level on Sept. 30, but the field that day was much weaker than this. Speed/stalker will need to improve significantly for anything more than a small slice.
