Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (KIMS STAR) (2-1) - She's been to the winner's circle 11-times in 32 starts on the dirt. Switched to the turf last out for the first time, speedy mare finished third of seven, beaten 1 1/2 lengths racing here at this level and distance Sep 4. Five-year-old can take this group from start-to-finish with minimal improvement.
2nd pick: #4 (Yuppie Girl) (10-1) - Lightly-raced filly moves way up in class in her first start since May 31. Claimed that day for $10,000 by Veronica Griggs, she has her working fast and switching from dirt to turf.
3rd pick: #1 (Queenland) (5-1) - Old timer exits the same Sept. 4 race as 'Kims Star'. 13-time winner was a 'head' better than that rival that evening and has as many wins sprinting on the turf (10) as the rest of the field combined. Obvious contender.
4th pick: #2 (Rockin the Bleu's) (7-2) - She ships from Canterbury where she won a $60K stakes sprinting on the dirt for fellow Minnesota breds. A career best and she was competitive in her only previous grass sprint.
