Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SOOTHING) (5-2) - This shipper is racing third back off a long layoff and is switching back to the dirt after a strong 2nd-place finish at Indian Grand on the grass June 17. Nicely spotted by Bob Hes, Jr., I like this 4yos' chances.
2nd pick: #2 (Gotta Be Lucky) (7-2) - This veteran maiden draws a good post for her speed/stalking style. She finished close up going seven furlongs against tougher June 13 and has been competitive at this level and distance in the past. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Sapphire Silk) (15-1) - The longshot has some early speed and is stretching out in distance. She ran here just nine days ago and will take them on the lead as far as she can at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Moreavino) (8-1) - Filly drops in class and is racing on the dirt for the first time. She worked fast here July 28 and may be set for a competitive effort.
5th pick: #10 (Our Romance) (4-1) - She's racing third back from a two-month break, has early speed, and has been competitive facing tougher in the past. In the mix.
