Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SWEET AUGUST LADY) (2-1) - Filly stretches out a furlong after missing by a 'head' here at this level going 7 furlongs Sept. 22. It was her first race in two months, first in a claimer, and this Chad-Brown trained 4yo will be very tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Critique) (4-1) - Lightly-raced grey filly raced evenly when finishing a non-threatening third here for a $50K tag Sept. 30. Only her 2nd start back from a 10-month layoff, she's from the Pletcher barn and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #9 (Love to Share) (6-1) - She ships from the Meadowlands where she broke her maiden by almost 9 lengths at this distance for a $20K tag Sept. 21. Stalker has room for upside, is in career-best shape, and may factor at a big price.
4th pick: #6 (Tiz R Bella) (5-1) - On the sidelines since July 14, 4yo has raced evenly in three straight here at this level and distance. Training steadily at Saratoga, she's capable of getting a minor award with just a bit of improvement.
5th pick: #10 (Tayler's the Boss) (10-1) - Speed/stalker is on the grass for the first time and will be stretching out in distance. Bred for the surface change, she's from a good barn (Armand De La Cerda) and Irad Ortiz Jr is aboard.
