Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NOT TOO SHINY) (7-2) - Veteran mare finished 3rd here at this level and distance Aug. 16. She was off slowly from her inside post and had some traffic issues turning into the stretch. It was her first since June 30 and first following a Jack Carava claim. 7yo moves out in the gate, and that's a big plus for her one run style.

2nd pick: #1 (Little Bit Lovely) (4-1) - She finished almost a length behind 'Not Too Shiny' last out, but had beaten that rival in three of four starts prior to that. Grey mare has the rail, a speed/stalking style, and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Vallestina) (5-1) - Undefeated filly moves to the grass after a pair of wins sprinting on the dirt. Bred to enjoy the surface switch, speedy 3yo can factor if she takes to the turf.

4th pick: #2 (Little Jude) (9-2) - Speedy filly tired here sprinting on the dirt at this level July 29. It was her first since May 14, and trainer Peter Miller moves her to the infield. Her early speed must be respected.
