Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TURF WAR) (9-2) - A $425,000 daughter of 'War Front', she's raced 3rd back following 8.5 month layoff after relocating here from France. 3yo made up ground in both starts at Saratoga going 5.5 furlongs and should appreciate the additional 1/16th of a mile she travels in this spot. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Saint Moon) (5-2) - Speedy filly has gone 3-2-1-0 since the high percentage barn of 'Jorge Navarro' switched her to the grass June 16. She went gate-to-wire at Saratoga going 5.5 furlongs Aug 10 and was 2.5 lengths in front of 'Turf War'. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Brooke Marie) (7-2) - Talented filly was a sharp winner at Monmouth Park in a first-level allowance going 5 furlongs July 19. Sent to Saratoga for a $100K stakes Aug. 11, she rallied while wide to check in 4th of 10, missing by just over a length. Competitive in both previous starts at Belmont, she's in the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Queen of Bermuda) (8-1) - Irish bred ran very poorly at Woodbine in a G3 stakes going a mile July 20. She had been competitive in both previous starts, each in a sprint stakes, and this filly kept some very good company in Europe before coming to No. America.
