Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PAZ THE WINE) (6-1) - Longshot has done her best racing here at this distance and draws a ground-saving post. She's racing third back from an 8-month layoff. The $40K tag is fine and 4yo has been competitive in five straight here at it.
2nd pick: #10 (Nazay) (12-1) - Another longshot, she enters off an extremely wide trip at this level going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 8 at Saratoga. Home bred had finished second here at this trip July 4 and has a shot at a big price with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #13 (Truly Courageous) (4-1) - Lightly raced speed/stalker finished third here at this level and distance July 14 then ran second at the same tag going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 8 at Saratoga. Four-year-old worked fast Sept. 16 and her outside post is a plus if she breaks sharply.
4th pick: #5 (Quietly Quick) (5-1) - Home bred finished fourth here at this distance facing tougher Sept. 8. It was her first since June 8 and is best described as a useful effort. Trainer Chris Clement wins at a 35% on this drop and at a 25% clip second off of the layoff. In the mix.
5th pick: #8 (Ma Mo) (8-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' moves back to the grass after just missing at this level in an 'off the turf' contest at Saratoga Aug 30. She worked fast here Sept. 15 and is capable of factoring at a big price.
