Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MISS KAPINATOR) (5-1) - Price play chased and tired while very wide to finish a distant fourth here at this tag going 6 furlongs on a muddy surface Aug. 3. It was her first since debuting in late Sept. at Gulfstream Park and she's worked for trainer Todd Pletcher since her return effort. Filly has a good shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #3 (Brooklyn Gerty) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced mare chased the pace before weakening to finish fourth here at this distance for twice this tag Aug. 9. It was her first since May 12 of 2017 and she most likely needed the start for conditioning purposes. Five-year-old worked fast Aug. 20, drops to a new low, and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #9 (Fingerpaint) (8-1) - Longshot tired to finish 2 lengths in back of 'Brooklyn Gerty' here for a $40K tag Aug. 9. It was in almost 100 days and her first in a claimer. $250,000 daughter of 'Union Rags' drops to a new low, has a fine outside post and is a threat at a big price.

4th pick: #6 (Salt Pond) (7-2) - Three-year-old set a slow pace and held to finish second here at this tag Aug. 3. It was a big move forward off her July 14 debut and must be left in the mix.
