Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (LLANITA) (7-2) - One of two fillies that have come from Europe for this G3 stakes that may have designs on the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies at Keeneland in late October. This English bred is still a maiden, but last out at the Deauville course in France she finished 2nd in a stakes at this distance. She's now in the barn of Chad Brown (30% with new arrivals), and he adds Lasix (23%). Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Belvoir Bay) (3-1) - Another English bred, she's gone 5-2-1-0 racing there and ships off a close up 3rd place finish in a Group 3 stakes at this distance Aug. 29th. Owned by Team Valor and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Breakfast Time) (10-1) - Another maiden, she's from the same barn (Chad Brown) as 'Llanita.' $300,000 daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' finished 4th when debuting at Saratoga Aug. 23rd. Working well since, and longshot has Castellano back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #7 (Thrilled) (4-1) - Filly by 'Uncle Mo' rallied to win her debut at Saratoga Aug. 9th. In the Pletcher barn, she finished 2nd in a $100K stakes in her follow up start at the "Spa' Sept. 3rd. An obvious threat based on that pair.
