Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PARASAIL) (3-1) - Well backed at the windows when debuting Aug 29 at Del Mar, grey filly rallied to finish third of 11 following a slow start from a tough outside post (11th of 12). Working very fast since, she can take this with an alert beginning.

2nd pick: #6 (Don't Tell Judy) (7-2) - She debuted in the same Del Mar race as 'Parasail' and just like that filly she did not break alertly. Home bred rushed up into a quick pace and held well to check in fourth, only a 1/2 length behind that rival. Working both fast and frequently, she's a threat in this spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Empress Rules) (5-2) - Debuting filly is the morning line favorite based on some very quick works along with the presence of Gary Stevens. In a small barn (Gary Mandella), is she runs to her a.m. drills the rest may be in trouble.

4th pick: #2 (California Curl) (4-1) - No-speed type has been freshened up since Aug 28 when she was not competitive in an even effort at Del Mar. Daughter of 'Curlin' had been sharper in her first pair and is working fast for her return. Stretch threat.
