Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ALBEIT) (5-2) - $240K daughter of 'Mineshaft' drops into a claimer for the first time and is moving from turf to dirt. Stretch runner is working fast on the main track and meets a weak field in her second back from a seven week freshening. Three-year-old gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Tanager) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly finished a distant 3rd at this claiming price going seven furlongs here July 20. It was a career best overall and it was her first starts since Nov. 8th. Trainer Eoin Harty has worked her twice since, brings her back quickly, and stretches her out in distance. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Too Much Drama) (3-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, she finished second here at this tag and trip July 22. It was a career best and her first ever going two turns. Contender, and it's a plus that Bejarano is back on the re-ride.

4th pick: #10 (Can't Afford It) (12-1) - Longshot drops a bit following a wide and even effort here at this distance for a $30K tag July 1. It was her first in almost two-months and a career best figure was earned. Home bred can grab a share if able to avoid a wide trip.
