Top pick: #5 (STOCK FUND) (3-1) - Long time maiden has done well since switching to grass sprints (3-0-2-1), and has finished second in both starts at this meet racing at this level and distance. Filly should get a fast pace to rally into and can take this with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #8 (Rosalie's Pleasure) (5-1) - Home-bred was only a "neck" and a "head" back of "Fund" here Aug. 2 in what was her firt back from an 11 month layoff. Stalker is a strong win candidate in her 2nd off the long vacation.

3rd pick: #9 (Live Life Fast) (7-2) - Daughter of "Bernardini" hasn't raced since last October when she finished second at Belmont going a mile. She also ran second here at this trip when debuting a year ago and is a win candidate if ready.

4th pick: #1 (Accomplish First) (5-1) - Another returning off a long layoff (10 1/2 months), filly was bet heavily in both her start at that time and has been working fast for her new trainer (Mike Dilger).

5th pick: #4 (Courageous Karen) (6-1) - She has fine early speed and has been sharp in both races at this meet. However, this field drew tough and a small slice may be her ceiling.
