Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SUTTON'S SMILE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, grey filly has been sharp in both grass starts. Daughter of 'Paddy O'Prado' finished second at this level and distance at Del Mar Aug 13, then checked in third here following a very wide trip going 'down the hill' Oct 3. Has the rail and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Shakti) (3-1) - Blinkers go on as this stalker moves to the turf for the first time. She's finished second and third in a pair of starts at this distance on the dirt and had wide trips in each. Contends today.

3rd pick: #4 (Adeline Moon) (8-1) - $200,000 daughter of 'Malibu Moon' moves to the turf and stretches out in distance for her second start. Filly ran evenly here when debuting in a dirt sprint Sept 26. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer (26% second time out) adds blinkers for this attempt. Can factor at a square price in the same race exotic bets.

4th pick: #3 (Albeit) (15-1) - She's shown nothing in a quartet of races on the dirt. Daughter of 'Mineshaft' is moved to the turf by trainer Doug O'Neill and he adds blinkers. Jockey Mario Gutierrez, who won five times here on yesterday's card is aboard.
