Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (NO NO KITTY KITTY) (2-1) - Fine debut here sprinting at this level Sept. 20 saw her break sharply and be involved every step while checking in a close-up third. In a good barn (Ron Moquett) and $57,000 purchase gets top billing.
2nd pick: #9 (Keena) (9-2) - Bred/owned/and trained by Francisco Bravo, filly is working above average including a bullet half-mile from the gate here Sept. 18. Bravo wins at a solid 21% rate first out (8 for 39) and she can factor with an alert beginning.
3rd pick: #6 (Tickle Bunny) (3-1) - From the barn of leading trainer Steve Asmussen, she rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Aug. 30. It was her first start since June 2, only her second since early December, and daughter of 'Shackleford' is in the win mix.
4th pick: #8 (Valokie) (8-1) - She was involved in the pace in the same Sept. 20 contest as 'No No Kitty' and tired during the stretch run to finish just over 4 lengths behind hat rival. In a winning barn (Danny Pish), he's worked her twice since, and home bred can factor at a square price.
