Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BROOKLYN GAL) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Patty Farro and the pair race uncoupled. Recent maiden winner is nicely spotted in her first facing winners. Speed/stalker still has room for upside and has a solid shot at long odds.
2nd pick: #12 (Grace H) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, she's the second of the Farro duo. Freshened up since Sept. 6, Maryland bred is taking a big drop in class for her return. Competitive in the recent past facing tougher, daughter of 'Mineshaft' is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Jazzy Java) (6-1) - Filly broke her maiden here July 30 facing $10K Pa. breds. Claimed that afternoon by Eberd Estrada, he sent her in for a nine week break. She raced evenly when following a stumbling start in her return here Oct. 2 facing $20K claiming foes at this 2l condition. She drops down for this attempt and is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #10 (Little Miss Miss) (4-1) - She moves back in with 'open' company following a second place finis here at this tag facing state breds Oct. 3. Nice overall effort, it was her best since early March.
