Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DEVINE UNION) (5-1) - Freshened up since Sept. 4 at Saratoga, filly checked in a non-threatening third that day when debuting at a tough distance (seven furlongs). Bet down to 5-2 favoritism that day, she's working steadily for a strong second out barn of Chad Brown (26%).
2nd pick: #3 (Honor Way) (9-2) - Filly has finished second in both starts. The latest came at this level and distance at Belmont Sept. 25. She has a bit of speed and is an obvious contender from the Pletcher barn.
3rd pick: #1 (Montrachet) (7-2) - Expensive ($450,000) daughter of 'Broken Vow' has made three starts so far. Two have been poor efforts on sloppy surfaces, but she finished a solid second at this level and distance Sept. 10 at Belmont when racing on a fast track. Working above average and a win candidate.
4th pick: #8 (Ransom Kitty) (8-1) - She improved noticeably in her second start when checking in third, 1.5 lengths in back of 'Honor Way' at this level and distance Sept. 25 at Belmont. Stalker draws outside of the speed and that's a nice spot at this one-turn mile that begins from a chute.
