Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (ESKENFORSDRINK) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced filly tired after rushing up following a stumbling start facing $40K claimers here Aug. 2. Only her second start, she's dropping in half and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #9 (Amore Gattina) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Mark Glatt, 4yo is working very fast at the San Luis Downs training center for her first start since Oct. 28. Barn drops her into a claimer, has her on the dirt for the first time, and she's a win candidate if ready of the 10 month layoff.
3rd pick: #6 (True Martha) (15-1) - Longshot was away slowly before rushing up to contest a quick pace when debuting here at this tag Aug. 3. Trainer Ryan Hanson adds blinkers, shortens her up a furlong, and think she can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Pray for Corday) (5-1) - Competitive in three of her last four, she finished a pace-chasing third here at this tag and trip Aug. 8. She's worked since but has a new rider aboard as Marty Pedroza takes the mount on 'Eskenforadrink'.
5th pick: #11 (Fantastic Chloe) (8-1) - The second of the Mark Glatt-trained pair, she hasn't raced since Oct. 29. Working above average, she's in a claimer for the first time and could grab a share a long odds if ready.
