Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MAJESTIC BLOOM) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly rallied while racing very wide to finish 3rd here at this distance facing tougher Oct 12. Racing back into shape following a layoff, she moves from the 12-post to the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Arabian Queen) (2-1) - Midwest invader drops in class for her first race on the NYRA circuit. She's been competitive while racing evenly facing tougher and is running in a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Pink Freud Live) (10-1) - Longshot had excuses in her last two on the grass. Strong finisher raced evenly last out at this level in an 'off the turf' contest Oct 4. Can factor at a big price with a 'clean' trip.
4th pick: #10 (The Ghost Bride) (8-1) - Speedy filly drops in class and shortens up a furlong. She's racing 2nd back off almost a 2-month break and she'll take them as far as she can.
5th pick: #11 (Laura's Patriot) (15-1) - Fits with her best and she's finished within range in two straight at this level on the turf. No speed type would love a fast/and or contested pace to develop.
