Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DETAIL) (5-2) - Filly is dropping into a straight claimer for the first time. One run type is moving in with 'open' company, but has run well against tougher in the past. In shape, she has the rail, and leading trainer Chad Brown and top jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. are in her corner.
2nd pick: #7 (Doukas) (9-2) - Filly ships up from Maryland where she rallied to just miss in a grass sprint at this level July 9 at Laurel. Capable at this trip, she's won on the NYRA circuit in the past. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Eqho) (4-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, she's won two in a row, and scored here for a $40K tag facing 2l foes Aug. 12th. Improving with every start, daughter of 'Giant's Causeway' is a factor right back.
4th pick: #2 (Light Years Away) (20-1) - Not a win candidate, but she has stalking ability, draws a good post, and may grab a minor award at a big price if one of the top three selections is sub par.
