#9 Dundalk Dust- loved to watch this Block trained filly beat wide open company going one mile on the turf in her career debut breaking form the #10 post. She came back to repeat in a race washed off the turf winning by 3 in hand then ran 3rd in the Arlington Oaks on the main track. She is back on the turf and running against all state breds-Great Bet to whip these.

#3 Pink Diamond- well bred filly was foolishly dropped from solid allowance runs into an 8k 7f sprint. She won for fun, was claimed. She ran back two weeks later and missed by less then a inch to the favorite in a 44k allowance race. She can beat these at a decent price.

WARRENS MATCHMAKER was one we liked last time but she got a poor ride
from the bug boy, Tyler Baze takes over now. SEXY MELODY ran well with
some trouble in her only start and should be dangerous with these.
SEARFAVORITESECRET looks to be the speed of this field. Bet WARRENS MATCHMAKER
(WP), Box the Exacta 8/6/7, Box the Trifecta 8/6/7/5, Box the Super 8/6/7/5
$24, and Play the Super High 5 - 8,6 with 8,6,7,5,1 = $48. (*Note: Alternates
to replace any late scratches are #5, #1, #2, and #4). BEST OF LUCK ON THE
PICK SIX CARRYOVER TODAY AT DEL MAR!!!

#2 Lady Adelle (7/2)

Our Eyes: Trainer Sadler has piled up maiden claiming sprint wins at Del Mar on the Polytrack, and this filly has been aiming this way since early June. Sire El Corredor stout with producing runners over this track, and looks like she can wear down favorite Holloween Candy late as the second choice in betting. - Jeremy Plonk
