Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BELVOIR BAY) (9-2) - English import is the main speed of a rather paceless group on paper. Very sharp in six straight starts, she's finished second in her last pair at Del Mar, one at this distance and the other sprinting five furlongs. Four-year-old can take this field from gate-to-wire.

2nd pick: #1 (Madame Stripes) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, Argentine bred has been competitive in seven of eight starts in No. America. Stretch runner finished third in a G1 at Del Mar Sept. 2 and draws a ground saving post. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Mrs McDougal) (4-1) - Talented mare is racing third back from a 10 month layoff. Competitive facing weaker in her return July 21 at Del Mar, she tired late in a G2 there Sept. 2 and was 3.5 lengths in back of 'Madame Stripes'. Working fast since, she seems set for a big effort.

4th pick: #2 (Lady Valeur) (12-1) - Irish import tired while wide to finish behind both 'Madame Stripes' and 'Mrs McDougal' last out at Del Mar. A stakes winner on this course in the past, she's capable of getting a share at a big price.
