Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LOX) (9-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Hard Spun' hasn't raced since finishing a very wide fifth of 11, beaten three-lengths facing tougher Jan 4 at Gulfstream park. Training steadily for her return, trainer Todd Pletcher drops her into a claimer and has Castellano aboard.

2nd pick: #7 (Pointe Class) (6-1) - She's dropping back down a bit after an even effort here going a mile for a $50K tag Sept 17. It was her first off a claim and the day she switched barns filly missed by a 1/2 length at this level and distance on the Saratoga turf.

3rd pick: #10 (Break Away) (5-1) - No-speed type has gone 3-0-2-1 since arriving at Saratoga in late July from Indiana Downs. Strong finisher draws a tough post, but is a threat if the paces is fast and/or contested.

4th pick: #8 (Written in Stars) (7-2) - Filly seemed set for a big effort last out at Saratoga facing tougher. However, she went to her knees at the break and struck the ground with her face. Her connections drop her to a new low and 3-year-old can factor with a trouble free break & trip.

5th pick: #3 (Sky Gem) (10-1) - Woodbine shipper moves from a synthetic surface to the turf in her second off a 11-month layoff. In a sharp barn (Mark Casse) and filly is bred to enjoy the grass ('War Chant').
