Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SWEETRAYOFSUNSHINE) (3-1) - Veteran mare has more lifetime wins (13) than any other entered. She was sharp in both starts at Saratoga without winning and races today first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a strong 28% angle). Stalker moves up a bit in value and enters off a quick half-mile breeze Sept 14 at Aqueduct.

2nd pick: #2 (Making Havoc) (5-2) - Speedy mare defeated 'Sweetrayofsunshine' by a 'head' at this tag and trip on a sloppy track Aug 10 at Saratoga. Claimed that day by Gary Contessa, she tired Sept. 1 at the Spa facing much tougher. Barn drops her back down to the claimed level and mare should be involved every step.

3rd pick: #1 (Zeven) (7-2) - No-speed type is racing first off a claim by owner/trainer Dave Jacobson (18%). Her form hasn't been as sharp this year as in 2015, but look for the new barn to get her headed in the right direction. If not today, than very soon.
