Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SILVER SHAKER) (2-1) - Grey 4-year-old rallied to miss by just under a length racing here at this level going 8.5 furlongs June 14. It was her first since Nov. 26 and this filly broke her maiden on this course at this distance Sept. 29. From the barn of Chad Brown, she gets top billing.

2nd pick: #1 (Bengala) (5-2) - French bred spent the first part of her career in Ireland. Since being imported 4-year-old has finished second in both starts each at this level. Latest came here at this distance June 13 when she disappointed as a heavy favorite. One-run type has a ground-saving post and has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard for the first time.

3rd pick: #7 (Purely Lucky) (6-1) - New York bred filly moves up in class, stretches out in distance, and is in with 'open' company. Consistent sort won going 9 furlongs here June 24 and must be left in the mix at a square price.

4th pick: #2 (Double Cast) (8-1) - Daughter of 'Broken Vow' has finished third in both starts at this level since coming off a half-year's absence May 24. Four-year-old was only 2 lengths behind 'Bengala' at this distance June 13 and is capable of getting a share in this spot.
