Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ALL TEA ALL SHADE) (3-1) - She rallied to miss by a 'neck' going 6 furlongs at today's $20K price tag July 12 at Los Alamitos. Filly has a ground saving post and should receive a fast/and or contested pace to close into. I give her a slim edge in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #2 (Bam Bams Lil River) (7-2) - Cometitive sort has gone 6-2-2-0 on conventional dirt and was a bit over a length behind 'All Tea All Shade' July 12 at Los Al. She set a pressured pace before weakening late and runs today first off a Steve Knapp claim, 7 for 36 (22%) with that move in 2018-19.
3rd pick: #4 (Naughty Tiger) (8-1) - One of a pair entered by trainer Ed Freeman, she has sharp early speed and is taking a big drop in class for this attempt. Working fast locally, she should be involved every step at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Time for Suzzie) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she raced wide when finishing 3rd for a $35K tag June 15 at Santa Anita. Competitive in five of seven starts this year, stalker can factor late if ready off almost a 7-week freshening.
