The Ballston Handicap looks to be a tight call with a number of the runners having a good chance but I will go for Get The Girl after winning four of her first five starts she has been just purchased by her present owner for $200.000 and could pay some of it back here the others that look to have a chance are Christine, In Z Balance and Skeleton Spy.
