Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (THREE EIGHTY EIGHT) (8-5) - On the sidelines since Feb. 2, mare has been competitive in four straight starts at this level with three of those coming at this mile distance. She worked fast here Aug. 28, has a good local record, and she gets a timid vote.
2nd pick: #6 (Formal Event) (5-1) - Longshot ships back from Finger Lakes where she tired while wide on a sloppy surface Aug. 18 facing tougher. She had finished third at this level at Saratoga July 23 and is in today at her favorite distance 5-1-2-0.
3rd pick: #2 (Quick On the Draw) (10-1) - Another longshot, she's racing second back from a 9-month layoff and does so with blinkers on. Stalker worked fast Sept. 1 and is capable of factoring at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (My Girl Annie) (5-2) - Speedy sort drops back down after tiring badly against tougher Aug. 9 at Saratoga. The main speed, 4yo has the rail, is at the right level, and is a threat to go gate-to-wire in this pace-less field.
