Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (KENNEDY'S DAY) (7-2) - A lightly raced daughter of 'Race Day,' she's one of two who were daylight maiden winners last out. From the barn of leading trainer Joel Berndt, she scored by 3.5 lengths at this distance Aug. 5. Nicely spotted and well-drawn, she receives top billing.
2nd pick: #3 (Sober Peace) (4-1) - The other recent maiden winner, she scored by just over four lengths when sprinting five furlongs July 29. From a good barn (Tm Padilla), this homebred by 'Stay Thirsty' is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (China Dish) (5-1) - A 5yo mare, she's racing herself back into shape following just under an eight-month layoff. She has the rail, early speed, and is dropping into a career soft spot. I think she's dangerous at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Wee Ms. Burnzie) (9-2) - This filly is from the same barn (Tim Padilla) as 'Sober Peace,' and the pair race uncoupled. She's dropping in class, shortens up in distance, and is capable of factoring with her 'A' game.
