Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TOURNY) (2-1) - French bred filly makes her North American debut and her first of any kind since last September. Quality runner won a Group 3 sprinting in her native country and also placed in the rich and prestigious Prix Mornay (Group 1). Training above average for her new trainer (John Sadler) , she's the 'class' of the race and will win this if ready.

2nd pick: #1 (Ultimate Holiday) (5-1) - Filly tired here at this level going six furlongs on the dirt July 27. It was her first pack off a pair of layoffs and she probably needed the start. Trainer Rich Baltas switches her to the grass and it's noted that Bejarano takes over the riding assignment.

3rd pick: #3 (Snow Cloud) (4-1) - Irish import rallied to win here at this trip at odds of 41-1 July 31. Veteran has a recency edge on a pair and should be finishing fast in this spot.

4th pick: #5 (Codacious) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, she's racing third back from a five month layoff and has run well in her return pair. Calif. bred has won on this course at this distance in the past and must be left in the mix.
