Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (WEATHER GIRL) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly by turf champ 'Artie Schiller' has been freshened up since Sept 3 at Saratoga. She finished third of 12, beaten just over a length that day going 8.5-furlongs at this level. Working steadily, she's cutting back in distance and Castellano stays aboard.
2nd pick: #9 (Hope's Roar) (5-1) - Competitive in three straight at this level, she ran third here at this tag and trip Sept 27. Filly had some traffic issues during the stretch run and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Flying K C) (10-1) - Long shot has disappointed a number of times but fits with her best. One-run type is training well for her first since Sept 3 when she raced evenly at Saratoga. Can factor at a square price with her best.
4th pick: #12 (Wantagh Queen) (8-1) - Filly moves back to the grass after tiring here at this level and distance in an 'off the turf' contest Sept 30. Competitive in three straight grass sprints prior to that and 4-year-old draws a fine outside post at this distance.
5th pick: #8 (Irish Laughter) (12-1) - Filly chased while wide and tired late to check in fifth of 11, beaten 5 1/2 lengths racing here at this tag and trip Sept 27. It was her best to date and trainer Leah Gyarmati has her making back-to-back grass starts for the first time.
