Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MISSBIGTIMES) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Flatter' was bet down to 3-1 when debuting at Belmont Park June 22. She did not break cleanly and ran evenly while finishing third of 10. Some of her works since then are impressive, including a recent half-mile drill here Aug 11.

2nd pick: #5 (Missimpazi) (4-1) - Debuting filly is from the first crop of 'Mission Impazible.' Initially prepared at Finger Lakes by trainer Chris Englehart, she has a pair of sharp local drills since shipping here.

3rd pick: #8 (Tayler's the Boss) (7-2) - Filly by 'Street Boss' sold for $110,000 a year ago and is making her debut. Barn of Danny Gargan is having a fine meet at 5-for-18 (28%) and he wins at a 20% rate with first-time starters.

4th pick: #6 (Droselmeyr's Smile) (8-1) - Home bred makes her first start and has four published drills here since July 23. She worked a sharp half-mile on the local training track July 29 for a capable barn (Charlie Baker).
