Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (TOPAZ TIME) (7-2) - Mare finished a pace chasing 2nd here at this level going six furlongs July 28. Claimed that afternoon by Paul Aguirre for the $16K asking price, she draws a fine outside post out of the 6.5 furlong chute, while Gary Stevens stays aboard.
2nd pick: #8 (Princess Areni) (6-1) - Lightly raced filly tired while wide here going 5.5 furlongs for a $20,000 price tag July 27. Trainer Simon Callaghan claimed her for himself that afternoon, and he has this stalker nicely spotted to factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Ciao Luna) (8-1) - Speed/stalker drops in class while moving from turf to dirt for the barn of Andy Mathis. Competitive on the dirt in the past, I expect her to be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #4 (L.A.Coliseum) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Bodemeister' ships from New Mexico where she broke her maiden going six furlongs at Albuquerque on July 27. She runs off a private trainer change to Peter Miller and must be left in the mix today.
