Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (IDONOWIDONT) (5-2) - Well backed when debuting here in a seven furlong dirt race at this level Sept. 21, she was away slowly but put in a strong late rally to finish second. Trainer Brad Cox (19% second time out) switches her to the grass and stretches her out in distance. Can win this with an alert beginning.

2nd pick: #3 (Sapphire JUbilee) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, she rallied to finish second at this level and distance Oct. 6 at Keeneland. A career best, it was her third start and came in her second in blinkers. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Runninwiththewind) (7-2) - Filly was away slowly before rallying from far back to finish third when debuting at this level going a mile at Kentucky Downs Sept. 14. In her follow up Oct. 8 at Keeneland, she tired to again finish third in a contest that was switched to a sloppy main track. Factors today.

4th pick: #5 (Dreamadreamforme) (15-1) - Well bred filly is stretching back out in distance following a fourth place finish going 6.5 furlongs at Kentucky Downs Sept. 9. It was her first of a private trainer change to Ian Wilkes and she's been training steadily since. May grab a share at a big price.

5th pick: #1 (Front Row Debbie) (8-1) - Long time maiden has finished second in 6-of-11 starts on the turf and is 3-0-2-1 locally. One-run type has experience at the distance and draws a ground saving post.
