Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (STORM RAVEN) (7-2) - Filly ships in from Laurel where she raced both wide and evenly when debuting against tougher in a grass sprint Aug. 17. Trainer Graham Motion (22% second time out), drops her into a claimer (15%) and switches her to the dirt (21%). $50,000 daughter of 'Bodemeister' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Slide a Bit) (10-1) - Longshot tired after setting a quick and pressured pace here going 7.5 furlongs on the grass facing tougher Aug. 8. Daughter of Breeder's Cup Classic (G1) winner 'Fort Larned' should factor today at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Colloquium) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she ships from Philadelphia Park where she's raced evenly in a pair of sprints facing special weight foes. She drops in class and her trainer (Juan Guerrero) wins at a solid 24% rate on the stretch out in distance. It's noted that jockey Haddock comes in for the mount.
4th pick: #1 (Terpeye) (6-1) - Even-paced filly has the rail and is stretching out in distance following a series of four sprints. From a very good barn (Kelly Breen) filly has been in with some tougher fields and it's a big plus that Trevor McCarthy is aboard for the first time.
