Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (STILL THERE) (3-1) - Lightly raced state bred has gone 4-3-1-0 racing on the dirt, and enters this off a 2nd place finish in Saratoga's G1 Ballerina Stakes going seven furlongs Aug. 25. An impressive winner here May 27, stalker draws a ground saving post, and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #2 (Kirby's Penny) (6-1) - Longshot has won six of nine starts on the dirt, is four for five at this distance, and has been sharp in both previous local attempts. Speed/stalker ships from Keeneland where she's been working fast, and John Velazquez sticks with her.
3rd pick: #7 (Your Love) (5-1) - One of a pair entered by Chad Brown, and they race uncoupled. Lightly raced and still improving, stretch runner has a great local record (4-3-1-0), draws a fine outside post, and Javier Castellano stays aboard.
4th pick: #3 (Lewis Bay) (2-1) - The second of the Chad Brown trained runners, this mare raced evenly when finishing just over a length behind 'Still There' Aug. 25 at Saratoga. Multiple stakes winner has banked almost $1.2M and is an obvious contender at a short price.
