Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (BONITA LUNA) (3-1) - With a pair of late scratches she gets to move in a couple of slots from her outside draw. Speed/stalker was a gate-to-wire winner here for a $16K price tag going a mile. Half of her career has been spent on the all weather surface at Woodbine, but she's proven clearly better on real dirt. Mare is 9-4-2-1 on it and is nicely spotted to take another by trainer Mike Pino.

2nd pick: #9 (Amulay) (7-2) - Veteran mare is one of two entered by trainer Bruce Levine, and the pair race uncoupled. She's won eight of 24 starts on the dirt, all coming against tougher. Stalker loves this distance (11-5-2-1) and is dropping down to this $10K claiming price for the first time.

3rd pick: #3 (Is She Hot) (6-1) - Speedy sort set all the pace and was beaten by a 'neck' last out in the final two strides. It was her best overall since late July at Saratoga, and she gets in here very light with winless apprentice J.L. Rodriguez aboard.

4th pick: #7 (Just Catty) (8-1) - Mare finished 2nd to 'Bonita Luna' Jan. 29th, then was 6.5 lengths behind 'Is She Hot' last out. More than capable of getting a share, but winning this would be a bit of a stretch.
