Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (KEOTA) (2-1) - Grey filly shortens up in distance while dropping into a claimer for the first time. The $145K purchase has finished close up in all three starts facing tougher and is working fast for her first since July 27. It's noted that Jose Ortiz is getting aboard for today's attempt.
2nd pick: #1 (Raven's Rabbit) (3-1) - Another dropping into a claimer, filly ships from Monmouth where she finished a pace-setting second going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 25. She has the rail and John Velazquez who is 10 for 24 (42%) at this meet is aloft.
3rd pick: #2 (No Deal) (8-1) - Veteran maiden has finished in range in her last pair with both coming at this $40,000 claiming price. Broman home-bred worked fast here Sept. 14 and breaks just off the rail. Price play.
4th pick: #8 (Appreciate) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Tiznow' rallied to finish 2nd at this tag going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 29 at Saratoga. Clearly improving, she has a trouble-free post and should be making up ground in the final furlong.
