Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MIDNIGHT SKIES) (4-1) - Filly ships in from Arlington Park where she missed by a 1/2 length facing tougher going five furlongs on the grass Sept. 22. One-run type runs on conventional dirt for the first time and does so off a trainer change to Ed Coletti Jr.
2nd pick: #6 (Jazz Pizzaz) (3-1) - Rare Virginia bred ships from Delaware where she tired going longer on the grass facing special weights Sept. 24. It was her first since July 2 when she was claimed for today's $20K tag by trainer Keith Nations. He drops her down, switches her back to the dirt, and shortens her up in distance. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #12 (Lost Shaker of Salt) (6-1) - Arkansas bred missed by less than a length when debuting for a $15K tag Oct 5 at Delaware Park. Home bred rated before making a solid bid and must be left in today's mix.
4th pick: #4 (Hallucination) (9-2) - One of five fillies making their debuts, she's training steadily, and is in a top barn (John Servis). She need not be anything special to factor against his group.
