Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (NEW CANAAN) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly has had excuses in both well backed starts. Away slowly and bumped late in her debut Aug. 10 at Saratoga, she had to check twice in her follow up there Aug. 25. She meets a weak group and can win this with an alert break and trouble-free trip.

2nd pick: #12 (Freckle de Freck) (10-1) - Long time maiden is shortening up after a very wide trip from an outside post going a mile at Saratoga Aug. 25. She's been competitive here at this level in the past and her outside post at this seven furlong distance is a plus. Longshot is dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #9 (Cetara) (4-1) - Filly enters off a career best when finishing 2nd at this level going 5.5 furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 21. Well bred 3-year-old should like this longer trip and daughter of 'Giant's Causeway' must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Sharp Lacey) (12-1) - Longshot has early speed but has been tiring going shorter. She has a rating gear and may grab a share if she's not sent hard at the break.
