Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (WARRIOR HALL) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and the pair race uncoupled. She broke her maiden here going a 1/16th of a mile longer Sept. 23 and will be facing stakes runners in her first facing winners. She's breezed three times since her win and $1,000,000 daughter of 'War Front' gets a slight edge in a wide open contest.
2nd pick: #4 (Beat the Benchmark) (3-1) - She ships back from Woodbine where she finished a troubled third in the Natalma Stakes (G1) at this distance Sept. 18. It was a good effort and came in her first facing winners.
3rd pick: #8 (Noble Ready) (6-1) - The second of the Clement trained fillies, she's gone 3-1-2-0 so far with all three starts coming on the grass. Stakes placed, she has good early speed and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #12 (Create a Dream) (5-1) - From the same barn (Chad Brown) as 'Beat the Benchmark', she was beaten 4.5 lengths in the G3 Miss Grillo Stakes here Oct 2. She stumbled at the break and was forced into a five wide trip. Can impact with a better break and journey.
5th pick: #2 (Accepting) (8-1) - The main speed, she's facing winners and racing beyond six furlongs both for the first time. $700,000 purchase breaks just off the rail, is working very fast, and is a threat to take this large field from start-to-finish.
