Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SAND SHARK) (3-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Hard Spun' is taking a big drop in her second back from a 7.5 month layoff. She tired facing tougher in her return Sept. 3 at Saratoga and and along with the drop trainer Todd Pletcher is adding blinkers.
2nd pick: #1 (Rainy Night) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced mare is making her first start since breaking her maiden Feb. 15 of 2015 at Gulfstream Park. Stalker is working above average, has the rail, and is nicely spotted in her return. Dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Leah's Dream) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's the in form speed and is dropping to a new low following a close up fourth place finish facing a bit tougher Aug. 13 at Saratoga. Win candidate.
4th pick: #5 (Lady Bergen) (10-1) - One of two entered by trainer Steve Asmussen and the pair race uncoupled. She's dropping in class, switches from grass to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Speedy sort has Jose Ortiz aboard and must be left in the mix.
