Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (STARS OF BLUEGRASS) (3-1) - She missed by a 'neck' when debuting May 29 at Santa Anita going 4.5 furlongs. She raced evenly while never involved in her follow up at Los Al July 2 and is dropping into a claimer for this attempt. Homebred worked well here July 16, and I give her a slim edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Spicy Sommelier) (7-2) - This filly is one of two entered by Peter Miller. Heavily bet (4-5) at this level July 2 at Los Alamitos, she set a solid pace but weakened under pressure to finish 3rd, beaten by 6.5 lengths. The barn is having a strong meet, and this daughter of 'Stay Thirsty' is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (September Secret) (4-1) - The second of the fillies from the Miller barn, she raced wide while never involved when debuting against tougher from a tough outside post on July 2 at Los Al. She drops into a claimer, has Prat aboard, and she's in the win mix.
4th pick: #1 (Big Dress) (6-1) - Debuting filly has some fine works on view for Tim Yakteen, 15% first out in 2019-20. She draws a tough post first out, but may factor with an alert beginning.
