Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (RARE GIFT) (8-1) - Longshot hasn't raced since Dec 16 when she tired after rushing up when following a poor start going a mile on a sloppy track at Aqueduct. Working steadily for her return, trainer Jeremiah is having his best year ever and he wins at a solid 20% rate off of long layoffs. Home bred has a good chance at a big price if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Mz Seb Pat) (5-2) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Dave Donk and the pair race uncoupled. She's been competitive in three of four at this level since coming off a 5.5 month layoff June 12. She has tactical speed, a good post, and she's gone 3-0-2-1 at Belmont in the past.
3rd pick: #2 (Kitty Therapy) (5-1) - A lightly raced daughter of 'Freud', she has early speed and is dropping back into a claimer after a pair of tiring efforts against tougher. She has the rail and think she dangerous in this spot.
4th pick: #11 (Abby Normal) (3-1) - The second of the fillies from trainer Dave Donk, she rallied while wide to finish second here at this level and distance Sept. 7. It produced a career best figure and she was just over a length in front of barn-mate 'Mz Seb Pat'. A stretch threat today.
5th pick: #4 (Kathy's Cause) (20-1) - She made up some ground without threatening when finishing behind both 'Abby Normal' and 'Mz Seb Pat' here Sept. 7. With just a bit of improvement home bred could get a share at a very big price.
