Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SPECIAL RISK) (3-1) - The filly is racing third back following a 7-week freshening and first off a Bob Diodoro claim (a 21% winning angle). Stalker draws a fine outside post that will give rider David Cohen some early options. The 4yo gets a slim edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Promises Broken) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished second here at this level going 6 furlongs July 29. Competitive in three straight, she's won at this distance in the past and is an obvious contender with Javier Castellano back on the re-ride.

3rd pick: #3 (B Three) (9-2) - The even-paced type has been on the sidelines since July 4. Mare is dropping back down, switching from grass to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. The 5yo may grab a minor award if ready.
