Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (RUN BLONDIE RUN) (3-1) - On the sidelines since April 19, filly returns with a big drop in price and is shortening up in distance. She's shown good early speed when facing tougher and trainer Bill Mott has her training steadily for her return. The presence of Jose Ortiz, the leading jockey at Saratoga is aboard.
2nd pick: #10 (More Than Treasure) (6-1) - Both lasix and blinkers are added for this daughter of 'More Than Ready's' first start since June 21. $180,000 purchase worked well at Saratoga and her trainer (George Weaver) had a strong meet there.
3rd pick: #7 (Banner Wave) (15-1) - Longshot hasn't raced since early October when she tired badly here on a sloppy main track in a contest that was taken 'off the turf.' Her new trainer (Ray Handal) is dropping her into a claimer for the first time. May factor at a big price if ready.
