Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SCENT OF SUCCESS) (5-2) - She's one of two entered by trainer Mac Robertson and the pair race uncoupled. This $72,000 purchase raced evenly debuting here at this level on the dirt Aug. 17. Her barn wins at a solid 25% rate on the second time out, and she has the rail while switching to the grass.
2nd pick: #2 (Majestic Stride) (3-1) - The 2nd of the fillies from the Mac Robertson barn, she a debuting daughter of grass champ 'Artie Schiller.' Working steadily here for her first attempt, Robertson wins at a 16% rate on the first time out, and a 23% clip when riding veteran Dean Butler. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Some Would Say) (7-2) - She switches to the grass following a very distant 2nd place finish here at this level, going six furlongs Aug. 24. Back in nine days for this attempt, she has early speed and is dangerous in this spot.
4th pick: #6 (Don'tpassthepepper) (6-1) - Filly is making her fourth start since July 2 and was 1.5 lengths behind 'Some Would Say' here on the dirt, Aug. 5. A well-bred 2yo, this filly has an experience edge and it's a plus that she draws outside of the other contenders. A daughter of 'Fast Anna,' she's capable of factoring at a square price.
