Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TALE FOR RUBY) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly s cutting back in distance for this attempt. She finished second here at this level going 8.5 furlongs Sept. 23 and will be making back-to-back starts for the first time. She draws a fine outside post and John Velazquez stays aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Mastic) (5-1) - Consistent veteran has as many wins (six) as the rest of the field combined. In career best form at present, speed/stalker has a fine year going 11-4-3-1 and is dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Taurine) (9-2) - Very lightly-raced, daughter of 'Flatter' cost $500,000 as a yearling back in Sept. of 2014. Stalker has been competitive in all three starts and is working well for her first since July 31.
4th pick: #1 (Smartly Agree) (7-2) - Gulfstream shipper is racing for the first time outside of Florida. Freshened up since Aug 28, no-speed type fits on figures and finished second at this distance in a $100K stakes July 2. Working fast and must be left in the mix.
