Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (IN CHARGE ANNIE) (5-1) - She rallied to finish a close up 3rd when debuting in a large field (11) going seven furlongs at Ellis Park Aug. 31. In her follow up at Keeneland, she tired while wide at the same trip in a rather disappointing effort. This $75K purchase has worked fast since and draws the rail as she stretches out around two-turns, a strong 28% winning angle from trainer Brad Cox.
2nd pick: #5 (Bossy Bride) (9-2) - Filly ships from Florida where she rallied to finish 3rd of 12, beaten four lengths when debuting at Gulfstream Park going six furlongs Sept. 29. Trainer Todd Pletcher (31% second time out) stretches her out (24%), and he wins at a 28% clip when riding Tyler Gaffalione, who incidentally just won the Jockey's title at Keeneland.
3rd pick: #4 (Liora) (7-2) - Heavily bet in both starts, she's been competitive and has finished close up in each. $175K purchase has show a flexible style and has been working fast here for this attempt.
4th pick: #3 (She's Got It All) (6-1) - The field's most experienced filly, she's been competitive in her last four, and she should be very fit for her first attempt around two-turns. She may grab a share at a square price.
