Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (RECESS) (2-1) - As noted by the Racing Form chart man, this filly had an absolutely brutal trip when beaten 8 lengths as the favorite Aug. 2 at Saratoga. Back at the same level and distance, $120K purchase can beat these with a better journey.

2nd pick: #5 (Fika) (7-2) - Strong finisher rallied to finish second at Saratoga Aug. 2 and was 5.5 lengths in front of the very troubled 'Recess'. It was a career best for this daughter of 'Union Rags' and she's stringing starts together after a 7.5 month layoff. She's dangerous today.

3rd pick: #8 (Handle With Care) (8-1) - Speedy filly tired late after setting the pace in the same Aug. 2 contest as both 'Recess' and 'Fika'. It was a good effort and this 4yo may lead them a long way at a big price.

4th pick: #4 (Big Expense) (6-1) - Another exiting the same Aug. 2 contest as the top three selections, 4yo tired while encountering some traffic issues. She had finished third here at this level in her previous pair and only missed by a 'head' at this distance May 19.

5th pick: #6 (Katook) (20-1) - Longshot has raced evenly in her first three starts and has a bit of positional speed to offer. It's possible for her to grab a share of this at a very big price.
