Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FORTUNATE QUEEN) (5-2) - She tired here facing a bit tougher at this distance Sept. 28 in her first start since Aug. 9. Zayat runner hit the gate at the break in her latest and had to rush up following that incident. She has the rail and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Tiz Super) (9-5) - Filly is taking the big drop into claimers for the first time and does so with blinkers on. Daughter of 'Super Saver' is in one of the hottest barns on the grounds (Tony Dutrow) who is 6-for-13 (46%) at the meet. A very strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Christmas Sky) (4-1) - Filly finished an even third when debuting here for a $30K tag Sept. 28. She had some traffic issues at the break so the effort was a good one. Three-year-old cost $220,000 so she was expected to have talent.

4th pick: #5 (Ouro Verde) (6-1) - She has some earl speed and has finished second in two of her last four. Unless she steps it up a minor award is her ceiling.
