Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FORBIDDEN COMMAND) (5-2) - Mare is racing for the first time since an easy win over a bit weaker at this distance June 3 at Santa Anita. Claimed that day by trainer Steve Miyadi, he moves her up slightly and stalker draws the rail. Can win this with her 'A' game.
2nd pick: #5 (Blooming Hannah) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old is racing her self back into shape following her return from an 11 month layoff May 19. One-run type has raced evenly in her last pair against a bit tougher after a second place finish sprinting at this $8,000 claiming price June 1. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #4 (Nazareth ) (3-1) - Mare stretches out in distance after rallying to finish second in a local sprint at this level July 21. It was her first start since April 30 and she's dangerous on the distance increase.
4th pick: #3 (Scathing) (6-1) - Speed/stalker drops down to this $8,000 price tag for the first time. Wide here from an outside post at this distance July 23, she' drops some weight and can factor at a square price.
