Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TOOK THE HIGH ROAD) (7-2) - Filly takes a big drop in class for her second start. Well bred 3yo raced both wide and evenly when debuting here going a mile on the grass Oct. 15. Trainer Ron Ellis switches her to the dirt and drops her down into a $30K claimer. I like the quick turnaround (14 days), and she's facing a weak field.
2nd pick: #4 (Tiffany Diamond) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she has early speed and is dropping down from a $50K claimer to race for $30,000. 3yo tired after setting a quick and pressured pace here going 6.5 furlongs on the grass Oct. 6 and is switching back to the dirt. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Lovely Linda) (5-1) - Lightly raced filly drops into a claimer and is stretching out in distance. She raced both wide and evenly here Oct. 13 sprinting facing tougher and should factor on the drop at a square price.
