Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (HUNTER'S HELLCAT) (3-1) - She was an easy maiden winner here going 6.5 furlongs July 21, then finished second at this mile distance for twice this price Aug. 12. Daughter of 'Discreet Cat' drops in half, and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Kennedy's Day) (5-1) - Price play is stretching out around two-turns for the first time. She has a speed/stalking style, is from the barn of leading trainer Joel Berndt. Leading rider Ryan Eikleberry stays aboard.
3rd pick: #7 (Grey Wave) (4-1) - This homebred daughter of 'Greydar' is dropping into a claimer and is stretching out in distance. Best used when stalking, she fits on figures and is in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Arresting) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she broke her maiden here in gate-to-wire style at this distance Aug. 30. A homebred by 'Stay Thirsty,' she's nicely spotted in her first facing winners and the rail is hers for the taking.
