Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SANGUINE) (2-1) - Filly is part of an entry with # 1a-NAUNET due to common ownership. 'SANGUINE' chased the pace and held to finish a distant second when debuting at this level and distance Aug. 17 at Laurel. Bet down to 5-2 that afternoon, she's worked since and is from a 22% second out barn (Graham Motion). #1a-'NAUNET' makes her debut and $90,000 daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' has been in steady training at Fair Hill since late June.
2nd pick: #3 (TightlyTwisted) (6-1) - Home bred daughter of 'Hard Spun' makes her debut off a sharp half-mile bullet breeze from the gate Aug. 24 at Fair Hill. Trainer Juanita Bennett (daughter of the successful Gerald Bennett) has Trevor McCarthy aboard and this filly looks 'live' at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Our Super Freak) (3-1) - Freshened up since July 23, she's training fast for her return and has Lasix added. Daughter of 'Mineshaft' raced evenly when debuting here July 23 and has been given 7 weeks to grow and mature. Win candidate.
