Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FAIR REGIS) (7-2) - Filly missed by a 'nose' here at this level going 6,5 furlongs June 10. It was her first following a seven week freshening and first since coming back from the West Coast. Since being claimed by Bob Falcone Jr in early October she's gone 7-3-2-1 and stalker draws a fine outside post for her style.

2nd pick: #4 (Leah's Dream) (8-1) - The main speed, she ships back from Philadelphia Park where she tired late to finish fourth facing weaker June 11. In her prior start 4-year-old ran fourth here at this level and distance May 10. Capable of running a :45 half-mile, she's dangerous if able to clear off early without facing pace pressure.

3rd pick: #5 (Special Relativity) (5-2) - Midwest invader hasn't raced since May 19. She won a $50K claimer at the 2l condition that afternoon at Churchill Downs and was claimed by Bob Diodoro. New barn wins at a 21% rate first of the claim and at a 23% rate off of this type of layoff.

4th pick: #6 (Diamond Jen Brady) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly tired after chasing the pace to finish 7 lengths behind 'Fair Regis' here June 10. It was her first since Jan. 19 and she returns on short notice with John Velazquez aboard for the first time.
