Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BLAME IT ON ALPHIE) (6-1) - Lightly raced 3yo tackles older foes in her first since Sep 6. Promising daughter of 'Blame' finished an even fourth in a $100K stakes at Del Mar Sep 5 following her maiden win when debuting there Aug 12. Training fast, she has the rail, and Mike Smith.

2nd pick: #12 (Liar's Smoker) (9-2) - Veteran is working fast for her first since March 26. Grey mare has won 7 of 17 on the grass and stalker has enough early speed to not let this outside post hurt her chances.

3rd pick: #2 (Special Gal) (4-1) - Lightly raced 4yo enters off a second place finish here at this level and distance April 15. Consistent sort draws a nice ground saving post for her stalking tactics.

4th pick: #6 (Arethusa) (6-1) - English import drops in class for her first since early August. Mare has broken slowly in both starts since coming to No. America and is a strong factor if able to break with her field.
