Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (EVENT OF DEFAULT) (5-2) - Daughter of 'Hard Spun' set a quick and pressured pace before weakening slightly to check in a close-up third here at this level Sept. 29. Excellent barn (Steve Asmussen) removes her blinkers and this 3-year-old gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Mula dawn) (3-1) - Texas bred has been sharp in both starts here since shipping in from Lone Star Park in late July. Speed/stalker has yet to win on the grass but has been competitive in 9-of-11 appearances. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Congregation) (6-1) - Stretch runner raced evenly without being involved when facing tougher here Oct 6. It was her first local outing and she takes a big drop in class while moving to a ground-saving inside post.
