Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SURFER CHUB) (3-1) - Monmouth shipper is facing winners for the first time. Jersey bred defeated $10K claimers to get her maiden win Sept. 18th. Barn (Greg Sacco) has been 'hot' on all fronts over the past month, and he has this 3yo nicely spotted.
2nd pick: #9 (Island Express) (6-1) - Very lightly raced, she set a pressured pace and held to finish 2nd here at this level and distance Sept. 12th. Competitive in all but one of her four starts, and she should be again today.
3rd pick: #1 (Northern Mine) (7-2) - Delaware shipper is moving from grass to dirt and dropping to a new low in class. Speed/stalker has the rail, is in shape, and is dangerous from her inside draw.
4th pick: #2 (Punchulunga) (10-1) - Longshot ships from Laurel where she tired badly Sept. 18th in her first facing winners. 3yo was an easy maiden winner in her previous race at the Timonium Fair and earned her a sold 'figure' that afternoon.
