Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (LITTLEMISSBUSINESS) (6-1) - She broke her maiden here going six furlongs for a $20K price tag Aug. 3rd. By far a career best, 3yo was claimed that afternoon by Jeremiah Englehart. Trainer is having a great meet (31-8-5-5), and he wins at a 23% clip first off the claim. Filly has room for upside and Javier Castellano stays aboard. Florida bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Sober On Sunday) (9-2) - Filly was a sharp winner in her debut Feb. 6th racing at Gulfstream Park. Claimed that afternoon by Mark Casse for $40,000, he did not run her back until Aug. 4th. She tired here that day sprinting on the grass and has worked fast for her switch back to the dirt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Active Runner) (5-1) - Owned by skiing star Bode Miller, filly ships up from Delaware where she broke her maiden in wire-to-wire style Aug. 6th. Originally with Bob Baffert, she's much improved since coming of a 9.5-month layoff July 16. She draws a fine post for this trip and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #6 (Doinwhatshelikes) (6-1) - She ships back from Monmouth where she finished a distant 3rd going longer on a muddy surface July 29. A five-time winner, 4yo won her only previous start at this seven-furlong distance. She runs as an uncoupled barn-mate of 'Littlemissbusiness.'
