Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (ESPERANZA) (5-2) - Speed/stalker is dropping to a new low in class and is switching from grass to dirt. She was a winner on the main track here going seven furlongs Sept. 1 and can take this from close range if able to avoid a wide trip.
2nd pick: #1 (Sheza Prize) (9-2) - Mare is an even-paced type and is adding blinkers while breaking from the rail. In a hot barn (Fred Villafranco), she fits with her best and can factor following a ground saving journey.
3rd pick: #5 (Greenback Boogie) (8-1) - Longshot drops down and is moving back in with open company. State bred has beaten tougher in the past and has a fine local record 8-2-2-2. Can impact from just of the pace.
4th pick: #6 (Artie's Woman) (20-1) - Big longshot has been subpar lately, but no-speed type fits with her best and may grab a share of this at a huge price.
