Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PERFECT PASSION) (4-1) - Daughter of grass champ 'Artie Schiller' is stretching out in distance and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Filly rallied nicely to be beaten only two lengths sprinting on the Kentucky Downs turf Sept.15. She draws a ground saving post and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (R Naja) (7-2) - Stakes placed filly moves back in with fellow maidens and will be racing on the grass for the first time. Daughter of 'Exchange Rate' has been sharp in both outings on the all weather surface at Arlington Park, is training well, and is bred to like the turf.
3rd pick: #7 (Tapanel) (9-2) - Home bred by 'Tapit' rallied to finish third when debuting at this level and distance at Kentucky Downs Sept. 11. It was a solid first race in a large field (12) and trainer Steve Asmussen is always better second time out (24%).
4th pick: #9 (Cuddle Kitten) (10-1) - Ramsey home bred didn't show much when debuting in an off the turf contest at this distance Sept. 5 at Ellis Park. Bred for the grass, filly by 'Kitten's Joy' is a threat at a square price.
