Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BLUEGRASS JAMBOREE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, filly has finished second two straight at this level. The latest came here going 6.5 furlongs Aug. 7 when she lost position at the break after being bumped heavily. Three-year-old has worked twice since and her trainer (Charlie Baker) has had a great meet at 8 for 28 (25%). It's noted that he has John Velazquez aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #6 (Quick On the Draw) (7-2) - Filly is facing winners for the first time following an impressive maiden win here Aug. 4. By far a career best, she scored by almost seven lengths when facing $40K state bred claimers. She fits on figures and leading rider Jose Ortiz stays with her.

3rd pick: #4 (Luna Rising) (8-1) - She's racing first of a Ken McPeek claim and is moving up in class. Daughter of 'Stay Thirsty' won here going 6.5 furlongs Aug. 4 facing 'open' $16,000 open' claimers at the 2l condition. Stalker can factor at a square price.

4th pick: #1 (Might Be) (15-1) - Longshot is lightly raced and runs first of a Chris Englehart claim (a 21% winning angle) and a subsequent layoff of just under four months. Working fast locally and she has the rail.
