Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (KATHRYN THE WISE) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' is stretching out in distance and is in against stakes competition for the first time. She's won both starts with ridiculous ease, and one was on a wet track. In the barn of Chad Brown, we'll find out a lot more about her talent level in this spot.

2nd pick: #8 (Bee Noteworthy) (12-1) - Longshot has gone 8-5-3-0 since late August. One run type is another making her stakes debut. A superior runner on 'off' going, she's never finished worse than 2nd in five starts on it. A threat at a big price.

3rd pick: #5 (Picco Uno) (4-1) - Speed/stalker has won four in a row, all going 6.5-furlongs or less. In career best form, she likes wet surfaces, and her trainer (Jay Servis) is a remarkable nine for 21 (43%) at this meet. Too sharp to ignore.

4th pick: #1 (Daisy Cutter) (8-1) - One of several veteran mares entered, she ships back from Laurel where she was a easy 6.5-length winner facing weaker going around two turns. Strong finisher has a ground saving post and may grab a share at a big price.

5th pick: #4 (Literata) (12-1) - Another of the veteran mares, her local record is solid 11-3-3-2, and this stalking type finished a fast closing 3rd in this stakes a year ago. It's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.
