Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MISS IMPERIAL) (7-5) - A lightly raced 3yo, she finished an even third Aug. 17 at Saratoga going 6.5 furlongs for a $75,000 claiming price. She had been competitive in four straigh sprint stakes prior to that and drops to a ne low for Jay Servis who is on an incredible run 37-12-6-4 (32%) at this meet.
2nd pick: #1a (Jennemily) (5-2) - Originally part of an entry with #1-'Zira', that filly scratched so this daughter of 'Strong Mandate' will go it alone. She has sharp early speed and is dropping back into a claimer following a fourth place finish in a sprints stakes at Laurel.
3rd pick: #6 (Queen Kahen) (6-1) - She's seeking her third win in a row and will do so fresh off a claim by veteran Ed Barker 4 for his last 16 (25%) with that move. She won an 'off the turf' sprint Aug. 21 at Saratoga, then scored here in a 6-furlong grass contest Sept. 18. In fine form, she's lightly raced and still has room for possible upside.
