Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SMARTY'S LEGEND) (3-1) - Speedy and lightly-raced, she ships in from Delaware where she was an easy wire-to-wire winner Sept 12 facing weaker at this trip. A career best, she's working fast for this and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Awesome Ego) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, lightly-raced filly was a visually impressive maiden winner here at this distance Sept 29. She drew off to win by 12-lengths, while the figure earned is the best any of this field has attained. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Bella Lou) (3-1) - One-run type has a fine local record 11-3-4-1 and enters off an even effort at this level Sept 27. She had a tough outside post (13th of 13), veered to the right at the break, and was forced into an extremely wide journey. She draws much better and is a win threat in this spot.
4th pick: #4 (Sara's Angel) (15-1) - Long shot moves up in class after rallying to finish third here facing $8000 'open' claimers Oct 4. May grab a minor award at a big price, but a win seems out of her reach.
