Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (EIGHT MINUTE ELLIE) (3-1) - Kentucky shipper tired going a mile at Ellis Park July 13 racing for a $30K tag at this 2l condition. It was her first since breaking her maiden at Gulfstream Park March 15 and she may have needed the start after the four-month layoff. Down in class, she has more speed than most and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Heaven's Creation) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she also ships from Ellis Park where she finished a 'neck' in front of 'Eight Minute Ellie' July 13. Consistent 4-year-old has some early speed and should be involved every step. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Say Cin Cin) (20-1) - Longshot drops after a pair of very poor efforts at Belmont facing tougher. Veteran drops to a new low has a ground-saving-post and ran well here in early Sept. Mare may grab a share at a big price with a patient ride.
