Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DEARBORN) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, she set a pressured pace and held gamely to finish third here at this level going 8.5 furlongs July 21. It was only her second start, first around two turns, and she came back with a fast local work Aug. 15.
2nd pick: #6 (Don't Blame Judy) (5-1) - Away for just over two months, 'Judy' is stretching out in distance following a pair of second-place finishes at this level traveling 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita 'down the hill' grass course. Working above average, stalker should factor at a square price if ready.
3rd pick: #2 (Sutro) (12-1) - Longshot is another coming off a layoff (Feb. 25). Even paced in both turf starts going shorter, she has some fast works on view and I think she'll be showing early speed in this spot. Dangerous at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Ever So True) (3-1) - On the sidelines since Jan 6, $210K daughter of 'Animal Kingdom' has rallied from far back to finish second in both starts at this level. She has a ground-saving post and is a late threat if in shape off of the 7.5-month absence.
