Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PRIVATE TERRACE) (2-1) - Consistent veteran mare has been sharp in four straight starts. 5-year-old missed by a 'nose' here at this distance for a $12,500 price tag July 23. Claimed that afternoon by owner/trainer Reed Saldana, he drops her under the purchase price and she'll be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #3 (Papercoversrock) (5-2) - Mare is stretching out in distance and dropping down in class on an 11 day turnaround. Once classier type raced evenly here facing tougher in a sprint Aug. 20. Dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Swiss Skimmer) (9-2) - She's taking a big drop while switching from turf to dirt. She's never won on conventional dirt, but has the rail, early speed, and continues to well on it.
