Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BEA BEA) (7-2) - Blinkers go on even paced filly who is racing on the dirt for only the third time. Competitive in one of those, and it came here just over a year ago. Grey daughter of 'City Zip' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Rescue Cat) (6-1) - Unraced since Aug. 1st, filly was never involved that day facing tougher after a bad 'stumble' at the break. It was her first following a Jay Servis claim and her first on the dirt. Think she can factor at a big price.

3rd pick: #4 (Frosty Appeal) (12-1) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Englehart, and the pair race uncoupled. Well backed when debuting at this tag Aug. 10th at Saratoga, she tired badly after rushing up after being thrown off stride at the break. She runs first off an Englehart claim (a 22% winning angle), and he's breezed her three times since.

4th pick: #13 (John's Catnip) (3-1) - Main track only entrant, and her connections get their wish. She's been competitive in her last three starts on the dirt and has wet track experience. 4yo has a quick recent work, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard. An obvious contender, but no 'lock' at what will be a short price.
