Top pick: #8 (FIVE STAR CHOWDAIR) - Good speed shown in her bow on this track August 5. Filly chased a good-looking winner and was not pressured late when the outcome was not in doubt. Barn (Bruce Levine) is solid second time out (26%) and she has a good work since the debut race.
2nd pick: #2 (SOAVE) - Trainer (Tom Bush) is having a "slow" meet, but this daughter of "Brahms" is a solid fit off her debut at Belmont on July 9.
3rd pick: #5 (Noble Action) - Good win early trainer (Linda Rice) and sire: "Hook and Ladder". Latest work is rather good and filly can impact this contest first time out.
