Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FINE INSTINCTS) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's been freshened up since Aug 31. When last in action, $275K daughter of 'Tale of the Cat' missed by a length on the Saratoga turf going a mile at this level. Working above average, she has the rail and Castellano aboard.

2nd pick: #5 (Congress Park) (3-1) - Dangerous rival, she has fine early speed and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Three-year-old has been competitive in five of six starts on the grass facing tougher and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #9 (Classy Teacher) (8-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Hard Spun' is racing second off a year's layoff. $275K filly chased and tired here in an 'off the turf' contest Sept 11 in her first off the long break. She's worked well since and is racing on the grass and dropping into a claimer. Price play.

4th pick: #4 (Enthusiastic Gal) (10-1) - Grey filly rallied to finish fourth following a slow start when debuting in a Philly Park grass sprint Sept 21. She's stretching out in distance and may grab a minor award at a big price.
