No. 7 Patty H (6-1) scored in four of her six starts last year. In her lone 2022 outing, she stumbled badly at the start and never got seriously involved. This is her first start in more than nine months, and she should impact the pace if she breaks cleanly.
No. 3 Bank On Anna (5-2) captured four of her last six starts, including a stakes score in the Union Avenue at Saratoga on Aug. 12. The two-time local winner probably will stalk the pace under her new rider Irad Ortiz Jr.
No. 4 Mosienko (2-1) won her last three starts, but her speed rating dipped in a local win on a good track last time. She is a contender but might take too much win action.
No. 6 Movie Moxy (5-1) has not won in quite some time but enjoys earning minor awards. She showed signs of life in a show finish last time and might land a small share.
