Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PICO CHICK) (9-2) - Barn (Bob Diodoro) won a pair on yesterday's card and he sends out this filly who tired to finish third here at this level July 29. It was her first start in eight weeks and first ever outside of California. Consistent on the West Coast, 4-year-old has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Wildcat Belle) (3-1) - Speedy filly is racing off a nine week break and a private trainer change to Dave Cannizzo. This distance is her best (8-3-1-3) and most of her best races have come at this starter-allowance ($50,000 level). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Hexameter) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, 3-year-old has finished close up in three straight starts at this level. Stalker moves back to the dirt following a wide and even trip when beaten just under two lengths at this level on the local turf Aug. 3. She must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Asian's Way) (8-1) - Grey filly did not break cleanly when facing a field of males for a $40,000 claiming price Aug. 6. She did rally to finish fourth and is back in with her own sex for this attempt. It's noted longshot was only 1.5 lengths behind 'Hexameter' at this level July 7 at Belmont Park.
