Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (HERECOMESKAT) (7-2) - In shape 4yo filly is dropping down in class and is shortening up in distance. Well bred, stretch runner has been competitive in both previous starts at middle-distances, and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Calculation) (5-2) - Consistent sort moves up in class after finishing 2nd here at this distance for a $25,000 claiming price Aug. 6th. Stalker has run well locally in every start (4-0-3-1) and is an obvious contender.
3rd pick: #5 (Miss Avalon) (9-2) - Pa bred is working fast here for her first race since July 26. She was never involved that afternoon in her first back from a pair of layoffs. 3yo has some early speed, and that makes her a factor if she's ready to show it.
4th pick: #1 (Sweetness 'n Sugar) (8-1) - Freshened up since Aug. 1st, daughter of 'Hard Spun' has won two of her last three, and scored facing weaker at this distance when last in action. Speed/stalker has the rail and may grab a share at a square price.
