Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MISS MISCHIEF) (9-2) - Veteran mare is seeking a repeat in this stakes which she won on Sept 25 of 2014. Her local record stands at 6-4-1-0 and she missed by a 'head' here at this trip Sept 16 in her final prep for this assignment. Strong finisher draws the rail and can win this with a trouble free journey in this large field.

2nd pick: #7 (Cactus Kris) (4-1) - Stretch-out sprinter is another with an outstanding record at Presque Isle 11-4-3-2. Lightly-campaigned this year, she finished a close up fourth in a G2 stakes going 6.5-furlongs Sept 7. Looks primed for a big effort.

3rd pick: #5 (Haunted Heroine) (6-1) - She ships in having won three of her last four, two on the grass and the other on the Ellis Park main track in a contest that was switched off the turf. Stakes winner has fine early speed and is trying a synthetic surface for the first time.

4th pick: #9 (Two Wonders) (6-1) - Mare has won 29 of 59 starts overall and is 7 for 11 locally. She defeated 'Miss Mischief' by a 'head' Sept 16 but moved from the rail to the 9-post. Fits with her best if she can avoid a wide trip in this spot.

5th pick: #2 (Save the Park) (12-1) - Lightly-raced filly has a fine record on synthetic surfaces 6-2-3-0 and has a fine inside post to use her early speed from. May be competitive at expected long odds.
