Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AVICII) (3-1) - Stalker ships from Del Mar where she was a winner racing for a $25,000 claiming tag Aug 24. A career best, it came in her second of a Chris Hartman claim. Can win right back in this starter-allowance.
2nd pick: #8 (Spicy Blonde) (4-1) - Filly has won four of five starts when racing on conventional dirt. Speed/stalker is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and draws a fine outside post. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Back Beauty) (2-1) - Speedy filly moves up in class in her first of a Doug O'Neill claim. Four-year-old has won two in a row at Del Mar and last out defeated a pair that both won their next starts. An obvious contender.
4th pick: #6 (Pragmatical) (8-1) - Very lightly-raced 5-year-old mare is facing winners for the first time. She broke her maiden in wire-to-wire style Aug 31 at Del Mar and has worked fast since. Fresh face has room for upside and can impact at a square price.
