Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SLAM DUNK) (8-1) - She raced evenly after a poor break when debuting here at 5.5 furlongs July 31. A $450,000 purchase, and she's worked three times since for trainer Rodolphe Brisset (20% second time out, eight for 40) in 2018-19. Filly stretches out in distance, draws a good outside post, and has a solid shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #1 (Day Dayneau) (9-2) - A $300K debuting filly by 'Into Mischief,' she has a fine series of local works on view for trainer Jorge Abreu, 19% first out since Jan. 1 of 2018. She draws a tricky inside post, but is dangerous with a trouble free beginning.

3rd pick: #2 (Orsay) (3-1) - This daughter of 'American Pharoah' sold for $1,200,000 last August and debuts for trainer Chad Brown, 21% (51 of 243) first out in 2018-19. Working steadily locally since July 21, all six published drills are well above average.

4th pick: #9 (Impeccable Style) (12-1) - A daughter of 'Uncle Mo,' she has some sharp works showing for her debut, but trainer Ken McPeek is not known for first out success (5%). Mixed signals.

5th pick: #4 (One Time Around) (15-1) - She raced both wide and evenly when finishing 4th of nine, beaten just over seven lengths going 5.5 furlongs here July 31. The race had an impressive winner by 5.5 lengths, so this $400K purchase wasn't far off the place spot.
