Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (STROLL WITH BECCA) - She's stretching out in distance after a wide and even effort sprinting at Churchill for a $30K tag Sept. 21. It was only her third start and first since Feb. 22. Home bred worked fast here Oct. 17 and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Kimberly Frances) (7-2) - No-speed type has been idle since rallying to finish 5th of 9, beaten 5 lengths going a mile on the Ellis Park turf for a $30K tag July 27. Home bred drops to a new low, is back on the dirt, and is a late threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Eleventeetime) (3-1) - A lightly raced filly by 'Uncle Mo', she rallied to finish second for a $20K tag traveling 7 furlongs at Churchill Sept. 22. She drops a bit while stretching out in distance and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #12 (Limage) (4-1) - She finished a pace setting second at this distance for a $10K tag Sept. 26 at Churchill. Her early speed in this field is a plus, but daughter of 'Street Sense' runs off a negative trainer change following a claim.
