Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ANNA CREEK) (9-5) - Filly had some traffic issues when debuting here Sept 24 facing a bit tougher. Well backed that day, she did rally to check in fifth of 11, beaten two lengths. She's worked since, is in the barn of Chad Brown (32% second-time out), and Irad Ortiz stays aboard.
2nd pick: #9 (Instant Irma) (3-1) - Lasix is added to daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' when debuted in the same Sept 24 race as 'Anna Creek'. Zayat home bred ran evenly and was 1 1/2 lengths behind that rival at the finish. Trainer Bill Mott (18% second-time out) wins at a 25% rate on the drop into maiden claimers.
3rd pick: #3 (Singmeasongbella) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Rock Hard Ten' ran evenly following a slow start when debuting here in a turf sprint Sept 19. Home bred was not bet that day, an unusual development for a Pletcher trained filly. He drops her down (31%) and the Hall of Famer wins at a 23% clip second-time out.
4th pick: #8 (Sassy Spirit) (20-1) - She's going dirt to turf, dropping in class, and making back-to-back starts for the first time. She's shown little in her first pair, but may grab a minor award at a big price on the surface switch and drop.
