Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CASH FOR CASS) (7-2) - Grey filly tired after showing good early speed when debuting Sept. 2 at Del Mar facing tougher. $50K purchase is dropping down to that price tag while trainer Mick Ruis adds blinkers. Daughter of 'Exchange Rte' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Staythirstymyamigo) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's finished second in two of her last three when in for a price tag. The speedy filly has been freshened up since a good effort at this $40,000 claiming price Sept. 16 and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Palm d'Oro) (8-1) - Home bred battled for the lead before tiring to finish 8.5 lengths behind 'Staythirstymyamigo' Sept. 16 at Los Alamitos. I like her works showing for her return and filly is in the good hands of Art Sherman (the trainer of California Chrome).
4th pick: #1 (La Dolfina) (5-1) - She rallied to finish second when debuting at 5 furlongs for a $32K tag Aug. 29 at Del Mar. She received good betting support that day and is training steadily for a small barn (Dean Greenman). Stretch factor.
