Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SMILING TO EXCESS) (4-1) - She's shown good early speed in all three attempts and has taken serious betting action in each. Filly has had to rush up following trouble at the start in her last pair and an alert beginning can win this.
2nd pick: #4 (Awesome Alessandra) (9-2) - Nice debut saw her be involved every step when missing by a 'head' here at this level and distance Sept. 6. This is a stronger field, but any forward movement off her initial attempt makes her a threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Erica's Tiger) (3-1) - A debuting filly by 'Smiling Tiger', she's been in steady training here since early August. From a fine first out barn, Brian Koriner 23%, she's a factor in this spot.
4th pick: #7 (Bode's Best) (8-1) - Blinkers go on filly who raced both wide and evenly debuting here Sept. 6. She was 9 lengths in back of 'Awesome Alessandra' that afternoon, but it's noted that she was bet down to 3-2 favoritism. Look for a much better performance today.
