Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (FRESCO) (2-1) - This homebred ships from Gulfstream where she finished close up in both starts facing 'open' company at a longer distance. She's worked three times here this month, draws a great post at this distance, is facing fellow state-breds for the first time, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard. Lots to like in this filly.
2nd pick: #5 (Towering Gaze) (9-2) - She received good betting support (7-1) when debuting here at this level going six furlongs in a large field June 4. This Generazio homebred rallied to finish 3rd missing by 1.5 lengths and is dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #9 (Silky Blue) (10-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since checking in a distant 2nd here when debuting in an 'off the turf' contest Oct. 3. A $220,000 daughter of 'Hard Spun,' she's capable of factoring at a big price if ready.
4th pick: #6 (Helen Jacqueline) (6-1) - She finished 2nd of 12, missing by 3.5 lengths going six furlongs here June 3. It was her first race in 3.5 months, first on the grass, and she's in the mix today.
