Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HERE COMES ADRI) (7-2) - Lightly raced grey filly has a flexible style showing. She's won from both on and off the lead and is stretching out in distance for this attempt. In shape, improving, and in a winning barn (Juan Vazquez).
2nd pick: #8 (Poderosa) (5-1) - Dangerous rival drops to a new low in class for today's finale. Stalker is consistent, enters in shape, and last out raced evenly facing much tougher. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Mischievous Sophie) (5-2) - Tough call as she's taking a big drop in class and switches from turf to dirt. In a top barn (Patty Farro), both of her wins have come here on the dirt. An obvious factor if ready following her 2nd straight 2-month layoff.
4th pick: #12 (Double Check) (6-1) - Her outside post hurts her chances. Speed/stalker enters in good form, but will have to try and avoid a wide trip for anything more than a minor award.
5th pick: #11 (Jojo's Gal) (6-1) - She's finished 2nd in two straight at this level, but has had good trips in each. She moves way out in the gate while cutting back in distance. Just like 'Double Check' she needs to avoid a wide trip.
