Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MEINERTZHAGENI) (7-2) - Cal. bred ran evenly here at this level going 67-furlongs Sep 7. It was her first since May 23 and first since coming from the west coast. Stakes placed on the dirt, filly has gone 9-3-2-0 racing on synthetic surfaces. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Haines City) (5-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced, she won her seasonal debut here going 6-furlongs July 26. In her follow up start Aug 18, she raced wide and a bit 'greenly' while checking in third at this level going 6.5-furlongs. She has the rail, shortens up in distance, and is strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Shipwreck Cove) (9-2) - A six-time winner overall, grey mare is racing on a synthetic surface for the first time. Freshened up since Aug 3, she was a very sharp wire-to-wire winner that day sprinting on the Penn National grass. Dangerous if she handles this all weather track.

4th pick: #4 (Valkyria) (8-1) - She won three of her first five starts, including a pair here at Presque Isle. However, her form has regressed a bit of late and she's racing on a quick turnaround after a poor effort on the Thistledown dirt Sep 7. Grey 3-year-old worked a swift 3-furlongs here Sep 16 and can factor at a big price with her best.
