Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (CATHEDRAL READER) (5-2) - Sharp in three of four starts, $200,000 purchase missed by a 'head' at this level and distance Sept. 22 at Churchill Downs. Stalker draws well, has room for upside, and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (Haynesfest) (4-1) - A three-time winner over weaker, she scored at this distant Sept. 23 at Churchill facing $40K starter-allowance foes. In good form and from a top barn (Tom Amoss), she's dangerous today.
3rd pick: #5 (Lesley May) (5-1) - Daughter of 'Tapit' rallied to finish third, only a bit more than a length behind 'Cathedral Reader' Sept. 22 at Churchill. It was her first back following several layoffs, she's worked fast since, and is a late threat.
4th pick: #7 (La Fee Verte) (15-1) - Longshot has some speed, good wet track form, and rain is in the forecast. Daughter of 'Tiznow' may get a share at a big price if that's the case.
