Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (ANIMAL APPEAL) (7-2) - Filly is working fast for her first since July 8. Three-year-old just failed to hold on that day racing here at this level and distance. Her morning drills indicate she's ready to roll and she can break her maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Donatienne) (9-2) - Four-year-old has run well in all three starts, each coming at this level going a mile on the turf. She has the rail and is a threat from off the pace if able to avoid any traffic issues.
3rd pick: #9 (I Dream of Candy) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she rallied to miss by a 1/2 length racing at this level going 5.5-furlongs on the Saratoga grass Aug 9. Working well since and 3-year-old is an obvious threat at a short price.
4th pick: #4 (Barrel of Dreams) (8-1) - Home bred is shortening up in distance after a pair of solid efforts going longer. In career best shape, she worked a bullet 3-furlongs here Sept. 15. Must be left in the mix.
