Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (PECAN PATTIE) (7-2) - NOTE: This race has been taken 'off the turf' and will be run at seven furlongs on the main track. This lightly raced 4yo has been idle since finishing 3rd at a mile April 18 at Aqueduct. Claimed that day by Jeremiah Englehart for $35,000, he has her working fast, and she was entered for the main-track-only. Filly draws a good post and can win this if ready.

2nd pick: #13 (Righteous Ruby) (3-1) - She tired after rushing up following a bumping incident while racing here at this level and distance July 26. It was her first for trainer Dan Gargan after a claim, and this 3yo has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard for this attempt. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Cathy Naz) (4-1) - An even paced type, she moves back in with 'open' company following a 4th place finish here going 6.5 furlongs in a first-level allowance for state breds July 6. She fits with these and her trainer, Jim Bond is having a strong meet 6 for 26 (23%) and an outstanding year 22 for 87 (25%).
