Top pick: #10 (SPA CITY LOVER) - Improving filly finished second here at this price and distance on August 1st, and that was her first start in eleven and a half months. Barn brings her back quickly and this 3 year old has now finished second in all of her starts. Has good early speed and will be tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #8 (Jusbhonorable) - First time starter is working well for a good barn and is by a very good stallion (Freud) with runners making their debuts. She one of two entered by the trainer and fare will race uncoupled.
3rd pick: #7 (By M K) - Filly finished second facing tougher at Belmont July 9th and raced evenly here last out at this price and distance. Four year old at a tough trip that afternoon and should improve enough to be a factor.
