Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PUNKIN'S PRIDE) (7-2) - Daughter of 'Bluegrass Cat' was an easy maiden winner here Oct. 6th at this trip for a $10K tag. In shape, and speed/stalker is well spotted by a high percentage trainer (Marc Zulueta). Lightly raced, she's in good form, and has room for up-side. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Fiery Gizzard) (3-1) - Speedy filly finished 2nd at this level and distance Sept. 8th. Moved up in class and shortened up in distance Sept. 26th, 3yo finished 4th of nine, beaten just under three lengths. Drops back down, and she's at her favorite distance (5-1-3-1). A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Union Square) (5-2) - No speed type rallied to finish 3rd here at this tag and trip Sept. 28th. In shape, veteran mare would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop to aid her late running style out.
4th pick: #5 (Double Check) (9-2) - Filly ran evenly while finishing 4th here Sept. 28th. 3yo had some traffic issues that day while only a 'neck' behind 'Union Square.' Can factor at a square price with a 'clean' journey.
