Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (CITY DAY) (7-2) - This race has been taken 'off the turf' and will be raced at a distance of seven furlongs on the main track. This $200,000 daughter of 'City Zip' was entered for the 'main track only' and her connections get their wish. Debuting filly is working fast, is from a capable first out barn of Chris Clement (17%), and he has Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard.
2nd pick: #9 (Miss Mo Mentum) (5-2) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' moves back to the dirt after finishing second here at this level going 8.5 furlongs on the grass July 23. She had trouble when debuting in a Gulfstream Park dirt sprint July 2 and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Critique) (3-1) - From the barn of Todd Pletcher, this grey filly by 'Midnight Lute' makes her debut. Training steadily on the local training track since late June, trainer wins at a 23% first out and he and Chad Brown are now tied for top honors at the meet with 22 wins apiece. The presence of Pletcher's long time #1 rider John Velazquez is noted.
