Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (WATERCROSS) (4-1) - Away since Aug. 20, she chased and tired in a dirt sprint here facing tougher when making her debut. Trainer Dave Fawkes switches her to the grass, drops her in class, and adds blinkers.
2nd pick: #8 (Ash Flower) (9-2) - One of six making their debuts, she's working steadily and has some bullets a.m. drills on view. Trainer Gil Zerpa (20% first out) has Javier Castellano aboard, a sign that the barn likes her chances.
3rd pick: #11 (Flying Emerald) (6-1) - Trainer Joe Joseph originally had two entered but he scratched the rail runner. Lightly-raced filly drops to a new low and has had excuses in her first pair. Leading ride Luis Saez is aboard for the first time and this Florida bred is a win candidate.
