Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BELLA LOU) (3-1) - Consistent sort just failed when finishing second here at this level and distance Oct 13. She had been facing 'open' company for some time and that was her first facing fellow Pa. breds since late June. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Mine O Mine) (15-1) - Long shot moves way up in class while shortening up in distance. She's racing back into shape following a late summer eight week break and may take them a long ways at a very big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Erase the Deficit) (5-1) - Strong finisher moves back in with state breds after running fourth here facing $16K 'open' claimers Oct 17. She was only beaten 3 1/2 lengths in her previous start at this level in what was a better field than this. Win threat.
4th pick: #5 (Gangstress of Love) (6-1) - Lightly-raced, home bred tired while having some traffic issues here at this level Sept 27. It was her first since a sharp maiden win here July 28 and she may have needed the race anyway. Don't just ignore her.
