Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (GREAT LADY) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly ships from Saratoga where she ran very wide sprinting for a $25K tag on a sloppy surface Aug 1. She makes her Finger Lakes debut at the local bottom for claimers ($5000) and her new trainer (Jonathan Buckley) is stretching her out in distance. She should beat these.
2nd pick: #5 (Pop Emotion) (3-1) - She finished second here at this level and distance July 19 in her first attempt going around two-turns.Encouraged by that effort, trainer Jim Kettell moved her way up in class Aug 2. Filly was never involved that day following a slow break. Barn brings her back quickly (two weeks) and drops her back down. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Penny Dynasty) (5-2) - Stretch-out sprinter has picked up minor awards in her last pair at this level. Daughter of 'Posse' has had trouble at the start in each and trainer Ray Stifano will race her around two-turns for the first time. She's the third member of the small win mix.
