Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ORAGEUSE) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Rick Mandella, this filly has been on the sidelines since early October. She missed by a 'neck' that afternoon at Santa Anita, and stalker is working steadily for her return. Home bred by 'Broken Vow' gets a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Colonel Power) (4-1) - Speed/stalker moves to the grass following a pair of sharp efforts sprinting at this level on the dirt. 4yo has a recency edge on 'Orangeuse' and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (She Be Striking) (9-2) - The second of the pair from the barn of Rick Mandella, debuting 4yo is working above average and had a bullet half-mile from the gate the morning of Aug. 7. A major factor if ready.
4th pick: #12 (Tantara) (7-2) - Another making her debut, she enters off a very quick five-furlong drill here Aug. 11. From a good barn (John Sadler), he wins at a 24% rate when teamed up with jockey Drayden Van Dyke.
