Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PARADISE WOODS) (2-1) - This mare has always plenty of ability, but has been an erratic performer throughout her career. Freshened up since June 1, she finished 2nd to today's rival 'La Force' in a G2 after bobbling at the break. She worked fast here July 23 and can win this with a trouble free beginning.
2nd pick: #3 (Secret Spice) (5-2) - Very fast from the gate, she's been on the sidelines since missing by a 1/2-length at this distance in a G1 at Churchill Downs May 3. Very sharp in her last five starts, this 4yo is working fast locally, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (La Force) (4-1) - No speed type finished 10 lengths behind 'Paradise Wood's in a G2 at Santa Anita April 27, then defeated her by just over a length June 1 after that rival broke poorly. She has a ground saving post and a fast and/or contested pace would help her chances out.
4th pick: #4 (Ollie's Candy) (6-1) - She's moving back to the dirt following a series of four on the grass in stakes that saw her finish 2nd three times. Lightly raced, she's working fast here, and has a shot today at a square price.
