Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (WAR BABY) (12-1) - Longshot ships in from Presque Isle Downs where she rallied to finish 3rd in a $125K stakes for fellow Pa breds. Her previous pair on the grass were fine, and home bred by 'Lemon Drop Kid' will have no problem getting the nine-furlong trip.
2nd pick: #1 (Chase Motto) (12-1) - Speed/stalker makes her grass debut for trainer Chad Brown. $250K purchase has been competitive in all four dirt races and is bred to handle the turf and the longer distance.
3rd pick: #4 (Joannie) (8-1) - The probable pace-setter, she's racing beyond six furlongs for the first time. Filly has been bet in both turf sprints, and $525,000 daughter of 'Smart Strike' is dangerous at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Crystal Wave) (9-2) - Daughter of 'Tapit' stretches out in distance after finishing 2nd here going a 1/16th shorter Aug. 17th. It was a career best overall and it came in her third back off a 10-month layoff. She should be involved from start-to-finish.
5th pick: #2 (Blenheim Palace) (10-1) - Another racing on the grass and stretching out in distance, both for the first time. Regally bred, and she should enjoy the surface change.
