Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SAPPHO) (5-1) - Irish import missed by just under a length here July 20 racing at this level going a 1/16th of a mile farther. Stretch runner bobbled soon out of the gate that day and has a solid shot at a square price with an alert trouble free break and trip.
2nd pick: #2 (Pursuing the Dream) (5-2) - Another Irish bred, she was stakes-placed earlier this year at Santa Anita. Very wide last out, she's dropping in class, has early speed, and Mike Smith is back aboard following a one-race absence.
3rd pick: #6 (Nonna Gianna) (12-1) - Yet another here from Ireland, longshot went 5-1-4-0 racing in Italy before coming to California. She ran both wide and evenly here at this level July 20 in her first start in 8 months and should move forward off of it.
4th pick: #7 (Nice Ice) (6-1) - Stalker moves up in class after defeating weaker here at this distance July 26. It was her first around two turns, a career best, and she's worked well above average since.
