Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FUSI) (5-2) - Filly is shortening back up in distance after finishing a pace-pressing fourth here at this level going 8.5 furlongs Sept. 21. 3yo has been competitive in all three previous grass sprints and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Abby Normal) (4-1) - This daughter of 'Birdstone' has finished second in two straight at this meet both at this level and distance. Stretch runner is in career best form and is a late threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Kathy's Cause) (7-2) - She set the pace before weakening to finish fourth here at this level and distance Sept. 25. 3yo was just over a length behind 'Abby Normal' that afternoon and it earned her a career best figure in her 12th attempt.
4th pick: #7 (Youth Gone Wild) - Longhsot is making her 26th start and this even paced 5yo has been capable in the past of factoring at a big price. A fast/and or contested pace would help her chances out.
