Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ELECTRIFIED) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced filly is racing second back from an almost 13 month layoff. Four-year-old daughter of 'Posse' rallied while wide to finish second at this level going seven furlongs at Belmont Park July 16. It was her first since checking in third when debuting against tougher June 24 of 2015. Trainer George Weaver is stretching her out in distance and has her making back-to-back starts, both for the first time.
2nd pick: #11 (Madison Blues) (7-2) - Speedy sort is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Competitive in both starts here a year ago facing tougher, filly is racing for only the second time since late November. She finished a troubled fourth sprinting at Belmont June 26 and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Munchkin Money) (9-2) - No-speed type is another dropping into a claimer for the first time. Freshened up since June 19, leading trainer Chad Brown has won with 12 of 27 starters (44%) when dropping his maidens into claiming land over the past 19 months. That impressive stat is far too good to ignore.
4th pick: #7 (Bea Bea) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, she finished third when facing tougher at this distance July 13 at Belmont. Stalker is another dropping into a claimer and she should factor in his spot.
5th pick: #8 (Pride of Saratoga) (20-1) - From the same barn as 'Electrified' (George Weaver) she's been bumped heavily at the break in her last pair. Weaver is adding blinkers and filly may grab a share at a very big price with a clean getaway.
