Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SWEET CONGRATS) (5-1) - Price play did not break sharply when beaten just over 5 lengths here at this level and distance Sept. 28. Much more competitive in her previous pair, trainer Dan Blacker replaces apprentice Figueroa with veteran Stu Elliott and think this filly has a good shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #9 (Lucky Knickers) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she missed by a length here at this level and distance Sept. 28. Lightly-raced 5yo was 4 lengths in front of 'Sweet Congrats' that day and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Second Fiddle) (3-1) - The lightly-raced filly has early sped and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She has the rail and is brought back on a quick turnaround (20 days) by the Mullin's barn.

4th pick: #3 (Exes N Ohs) (6-1) - Well-bred filly is cutting back in distance after finishing third at this price tag going a mile here Oct. 8. By far a career best, it was her first on the grass and first off a Dean Greenman claim. Formerly in the barn of Bob Baffert, daughter of 'Street Sense' must be left in the mix.
