Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (WELL BLESSED) (5-2) - Home bred has been sharp in all three starts. Stalker has been freshened up since June 18 when she finished second at Delaware Park facing special weights. Three-year-old is training above average locally and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She gets a very slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Tiz Paradise) (3-1) - Well bred filly is dropping farther down following a good local effort facing $75K claimers Sept. 28. Daughter of 'Tiznow' has been bet in all three appearances and is stringing starts together for trainer Chad Brown. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Bright Side Up) (8-1) - Filly finished second here at this level going six furlongs Sept. 18. She's improved since dropping into claimers and is a factor in his spot.
4th pick: #1 (Hawk Alley) (5-1) - She's racing first off a claim by Nick Esler and a subsequent eight week break. Speedy filly has finished third in three straight and all have been at this $40K price tag. She has the rail and Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard for the first time.
5th pick: #12 (Antebellum) (15-1) - Longshot has had excuses in her last pair and has some good efforts at this price tag in the past. She may grab a share at a big price.
