Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HELEN'S TIGER) (7-2) - She rallied from close range to miss by a 1/2 length here at this level and distance July 20. A career best to date, she's been improving steadily since switching to the turf following a 5.5-month layoff. She has the rail and can win this with a trouble-free trip.

2nd pick: #6 (Donut Girl) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 3yo won her grass debut at Santa Anita going 6.5 furlongs June 16. Filly defeated 'Helen's Tiger' that day and has been working steadily since. An obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Maycee Jo) (12-1) - Longshot broke slowly and was never involved when finishing 8.5 lengths in back of 'Helen's Tiger' July 20. Much sharper in her previous pair, trainer Bill McLean replaces apprentice with Giovanni Franco for this attempt.

4th pick: #8 (Bobbie Lincoln) (9-2) - Very quick from the gate, lightly-raced 5yo mare is racing on the grass for the first time. Very sharp in her first three on the dirt, home bred is dangerous if she handles the turf.
