Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PLAYTONE) (3-1) - She was a visually impressive gate-to-wire maiden winner here at this distance Oct. 19. $150K purchase set fast/and pressured early fractions before drawing off to score by 6 lengths in 1:10.80. Think she can win right back.
2nd pick: #3 (Time Limit) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished a pace setting second last out on the Belmont grass at this distance in the Matron Stakes (G3) Oct. 5. That was against 'open' company and she's back on the dirt facing fellow state breds.
3rd pick: #4 (My Sassy Sarah) (9-2) - Home bred moves to the dirt following a trio of good efforts on the grass. In with 'open' company last out, she fits on figures, has some fast works on the dirt, and is dangerous if she handles the surface switch.
4th pick: #6 (Single Verse) (5-1) - Competitive in all five starts, she's finished 2nd in a pair of stakes at Finger Lakes and in between those two she was a sharp maiden winner at Belmont at this distance Oct. 4. Stalker draws well and must be left in the mix.
