Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (GRIN) (3-1) - Freshened=up since early August, filly is dropping in class. moves from 'poly' to real dirt, and runs with Lasix administered for the first time. She ships in from Delaware for a dangerous barn (Jamie Ness) and worked a sharp five-furlongs there Oct 11.
2nd pick: #4 (Steph Got Even) (5-1) - 'Steph' has finished second the last three times she raced around two-turns on the local dirt. Grey filly is in shape and is a factor down the stretch.
3rd pick: #8 (Benny's Diamond) (7-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of the speedy 'Benny the Bull' races first off a Patty Farro claim (16%) and off almost a seven-week break. She's been competitive in three straight racing in the Midwest and fits on figures.
4th pick: #7 (Miss Rowley) (8-1) - She pressed the pace while wide last out and weakened to finish third, 3 1/2 lengths behind 'Steph.' Nice effort was her first at this tag and first around two-turns. May grab a share at long odds.
