Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NICE ICE) (5-2) - This mare is one of two entered by Doug O'Neill, and she races first off a claim for $20,000 July 25. She finished 2nd here that day at this level and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Magnificent Q T ) (4-1) - The other from the O'Neill barn, she had a wide trip down the stretch when finishing 3rd, only a 'head' behind 'Nice Ice' at this level and distance here July 20. She has good positional speed, draws a better post today, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Hot On the Trail) (6-1) - She moves back to the grass following four races on the dirt in which she was competitive three times. 4yo has finished within range in her last three on the turf and must be left in the mix today.
4th pick: #1 (D's Lovely Sophia) (20-1) - This longshot is not a serious win candidate, but she has the rail, some early speed, and may hold down a minor award at a very big price.
