Top pick: #2 (IRISH WEDDING) - Price play races first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim and that's a strong 22% winning angle. Well-bred filly rallied to finish second on the Belmont infield sprinting for $40K the day she was taken and the new barn moves her up slightly in price and stretches her back out in distamce.

2nd pick: #5 (Malibu Red ) - The main speed of the group, she finished fourth last out at Belmont after setting a very fast pace racing for a $65K tag at this mile trip on July 12th. Race was her first in two months, trainer Jason Servis brings her back in three weeks, and he drops her down a bit in price.

3rd pick: #7 (Street Dreams) - Home-bred by "Street Sense" comes off a career best when she chased, bid, and finished second last out in the same contest that "Malibu" exits. She's worked fine since and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #3 (Caution Sign) - Daughter of "Mr Greeley" hasn't raced since finishing third at Tampa Bay Downs in late Dec. when facing special weights. Training steadily for her return, she'll race in a claimer for the first time and is in a barn (Chris Clement) that wins at an excellent 26% off of long layoffs.
