Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CURSOR) (8-5) - Filly cost $340,000 a year ago at the Keeneland Fall Yearling Sales. Daughter of 'Quality Road' finished second when debuting at this level going six furlongs Aug 28 at Saratoga. Nice first outing and trainer Mark Hennig ( 3-for-12 at this met) has given her almost six weeks to recover. She worked a sharp half-mile here Sept. 26 and Hennig has Javier Castellano aboard for this attempt.

2nd pick: #2 (Drip Brew) (6-1) - Longshot has the best early speed and is racing with blinkers on. She improved noticeably in her second start which came here at this trip Sept. 18. A threat on the lead at a square price.

3rd pick: #3 (Special Risk) (5-2) - Lasix is added to filly who showed nothing in Saratoga's G1 Spinaway Stakes Sept. 3. She had missed by a 1/2 length there when facing fellow maidens July 22 and has been working fast for this assignment. An obvious contender

4th pick: #6 (Courtmewithcarats) (7-2) - Very wide in her first pair, filly ran well in spots racing here Sept. 11 in a large field (12). She's worked since, and it's noted that she gets a big rider upgrade to Jose Ortiz.
