Top pick: #1 (LET THE KITTEN RUN) - Lightly-raced home-bred by "Kitten's Joy" tired after racing close-up and wide facing special weights on July 29th. Race was her first in two months and trainer Mike Maker will drop her way down and has her making back-to-back starts for the first time. Filly draws the rail and is the choice in today's finale.

2nd pick: #3 (Picture Book) - Daughter of "Tapit" showed an improved effort last out when she rallied while wide to finish 5th of 10, beaten just over 3 lengths racing for 450K on August 2nd. Trainer Chad Brown has worked her since and halves her price this afternoon. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #10 (Bluegrass Rumor) - Speedy sort set the pace and held to finish second here at this price July 29th in a contest that was switched to the main track. There's not a lot of other visible pace on paper and that gives her a shot on the front-end.

4th pick: #8 (Fun and gains) - Lightly raced, she rallied to finish third at Ellis Park sprinting on the grass in her only infield start in four outings. Drops for this, goes dirt to turf, and stretches-out in distance for the first time.
