Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (FULL SWING) (3-1) - Filly from the barn of Todd Pletcher rallied to finish second when debuting at this level going a mile on the Gulfstream turf Aug. 5. In her follow up Sept. 2, she again ran second in a 7-furlong contest that was taken 'off the turf' and run on a very sloppy main track. Back on the turf, John Velazquez is aboard for this attempt.
2nd pick: #9 (Vortices) (5-1) - Filly has finished fourth in her first two on the turf the latest coming in a good effort at Kentucky Downs Sept. 8. A career best to date, think she's a factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Hope So) (8-1) - One of five fillies making their debuts, she's been in steady training here since late June. She breezed a bullet 5 furlongs from the gate Sept. 12 and is from a good barn (Wayne Catalano).
4th pick: #7 (Macabre) (6-1) - Home bred daughter of 'Hard Spun' stretches out in distance following an even fourth-place finish when debuting in a 6.5-furlong contest at Kentucky Downs Sept. 6. It was a solid initial attempt and was from a tough inside post in a large field (12). In the mix today.
