Top pick: #4 (SEPARATE CHECKS) - Mid-Atlantic shipper has improved considerably as the year has progressed and last out finished a strong 3rd at Penn National. Stalker has a local work since arriving and she faces a field where many are not in good form. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Sextant) - She'd be no surprise as trainer Linda Rice drops her to the bottom for her first start in almost 15 months and first ever on the dirt. Mare has races in her past that would crush these if sh'e in shape and takes to the dirt.
3rd pick: #5 (Pyriteville) - Ohio-bred has a fine year going(13-2-5-2) and mare has always liked this main-track(19-3-4-4). Has fine early speed and there's not a lot of pace on paper.
