Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MOONLESS SKY) (7-2) - Steady performer has won four of five starts on the grass since coming to California from Gulfstream Park very early in the year. One of those wins came in a $125K stakes for fellow Cal breds at Santa Anita May 21. In shape 4-year-old has a flexible style and draws a ground saving post.

2nd pick: #2 (Majestic Heat) (9-5) - Lightly-raced mare is seeking a repeat win in this $150K stakes. She rallied to score by a 'nose' a year ago before following that up with a pair of even efforts facing G1 'open' company. On the shelf since early November, 5-year-old is an obvious contender if ready.

3rd pick: #6 (How Unusual) (5-1) - She has a bit more early speed than most and enters off a 1/2 length loss to today's rival 'Shehastheritestuff' here July 19. It was her first start since Jan. 28 and a repeat of it puts her in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Shehastheritestuff) (7-2) - No-speed type rallied to defeat 'How Unusual' by a 1/2 length here going nine furlongs July 19. Strong finisher will need some pace help to make her late charge be effective.
