Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (NEWPORT BREEZE) (4-1) - She rallied to miss by just under a length in a $200,000 stakes going 6.5 furlongs at this level Aug. 25 at Saratoga. It was her first since coming from California and she's worked fast here since.
2nd pick: #4 (Aunt Babe) (9-2) - Home bred takes a big step up in her first facing winners. She was a sharp 7.5 length maiden winner here when debuting just 13 days ago. She was visually impressive and I like the fact that they turn her around quickly.
3rd pick: #1 (Berning Rose) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she was a gate-to-wire winner by five lengths when debuting at this distance Aug. 30 at Saratoga. She worked here Sept. 10 and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Pauseforthecause) (6-1) - Broman home bred by 'Giant's Causeway' tired late to finish fourth at Saratoga Aug. 25. She was 1.5 lengths in back of 'Newport Breeze' that afternoon and came back with a bullet 5 furlong work here Sept. 12.
