Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (TAMARIND HALL) - Veteran mare ships from West Virginia where she rallied to finish 2nd in a 4100K sprint stakes August 4th. She hasn't won since taking the (G3) Bed o Roses at Belmont almost 14 months ago but is racing back into shape and ran 3rd here last August in the G1 Ballerina. There's lots of speed to set up her late charge and she gets the call in a "wide open" contest.

2nd pick: #5 (Strike the Moon) - Price play is one of two fillies entered by trainer Mike Trombetta and the pair race uncoupled. This 4yo was an impressive winner here over softer on July 27th, but the "figure" earned was impressive and was her first ever on this surface.

3rd pick: #4 (Mildly Offensive) - Speedy filly seems to do her best running fresh and trainer Todd Pletcher has her working fast for her first start since July 14th. More than capable with her best and her drills indicate she's ready.
