Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TUSCAN SUN) (9-5) - Lightly-raced filly pressed a quick pace before weakening here at this level going 5.5 furlongs Sept. 16. It was her first since debuting at Santa Anita July 8. Capable barn (Keith Craigmyle) brings her back quickly, shortens her up a bit, and she has the rail. Lots of things to like.
2nd pick: #5 (Blazinghotprspect) (2-1) - She raced evenly following a slow start when debuting on the Santa Rosa Fair grass facing tougher Aug 13. Bred for speed, barn drops her in class and switches her from turf to dirt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (La Tempesta) (20-1) - On the sidelines since June 23, filly was never involved that day at Santa Anita following a slow break. Working well for this, home bred runs off a private trainer switch to Humberto Loma.
