Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (PAKHET) (5-2) - Filly raced close up before rallying to miss by a 'nose' when debuting in a 5.5-furlong grass sprint Aug. 10 at Saratoga. $130K purchase is from the barn of Todd Pletcher (32% second time out) and he stretches her out in distance (24%). She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Heroic Activist) (8-1) - Price play raced evenly when debuting at this level and distance Aug. 19 at Saratoga. She had the rail but did not offer a rally when asked. $175,000 filly moves off the inside and has worked twice since for a barn (Jorge Abreu) that's making a name for itself this year.
3rd pick: #4 (Multi Strategy) (7-2) - One of a pair entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. $240K daughter of 'Scat Dady' finished a distant third when debuting at this level going 7 furlongs Aug. 12 at Saratoga in a contest that was taken 'off the turf'. In the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Elite Mom) (6-1) - The second of the two Chad Brown-trained fillies, she's making her debut and has been in steady training since late June. Another daughter of 'Scat Daddy', Brown wins at a 19% rate first out and at a 27% clip when riding Irad Ortiz Jr.
