Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (LORI'S ATTITUDE) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly has been freshened up since the spring when she finished second in both starts at this level going the famous 6.5 furlong down the hill trip on the Santa Anita turf course. Speed/stalker is working fast locally and is an obvious selection.
2nd pick: #8 (Vivacious Beauty) (9-2) - Very quick from the gate, mare is racing on the grass for the first time. She tired badly here on the dirt Aug 6, but had just missed July 17 in her first race in 16 months. Bred to handle the turf and 5-year-old should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #7 (White Rock Lake) (5-1) - One of five fillies making their debuts, 4-year-old has a solid and steady work pattern dating back to late May. In the barn of Hall of Fame member Rick Mandella, he has leading rider Flavien Prat aboard.
4th pick: #3 (Prevailing) (10-1) - Longshot has some early speed and is cutting back in distance and is racing third off a two-month break. A quick work on Aug 20 suggests she's ready for a competitive effort at a big price.
