Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TAINTED ANGEL) (9-5) - The field's most experience maiden, grey filly has been competitive in all three starts. Home bred has sharp early speed and has been involved from gate to wire in each attempt.
2nd pick: #2 (Rare Rose) (7-2) - Well backed in her debut Aug 15 at Saratoga, she tired after pressing the pace while widest. With the rail runner scratched, she moves to the inside slot. Filly worked sharply here Sept 8 and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (The Eagle Is Gone) (8-1) - Debuting filly skipped the Saratoga meet while working five times here in August. Her latest drill, a bullet three furlongs Sept 12 indicates that she's ready to be competitive in her first attempt.
4th pick: #5 (Bellelarama) (6-1) - Home bred moves back in with New York breds after tiring Aug 4 at Saratoga when facing $50K open maiden claimers. Trainer Steve Asmussen's horses have been 'live' at this meet and he has Saratoga's champion jockey (Jose Ortiz) aboard.
