Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (CONSTANTIA) (5-2) - This homebred filly by 'Munnings' is lightly raced and improving. She finished 3rd of 10, missing by two lengths here at this tag & trip on July 11. He gets a huge rider upgrade to leading rider Umberto Rispoli for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Journal Entry) (3-1) - This 5yo mare drops down to this $50K price tag for the first time. A stalker by 'Uncle Mo,' she finished 3rd here for a $62,500 tag Aug. 1 in her second-ever race in a claimer. This field drew weak for the level and she should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #2 (I Give Up) (15-1) - This longshot had some traffic problems when finishing a bit over three lengths behind 'Journal Entry' here on Aug. 1. Her lack of speed is a negative, but she may get a share at a very big price if the pace is fast and/or contested.
4th pick: #3 (Lookin So Lucky) (20-1) - Another longshot, she tired after being bumped at the start here Aug 1. A homebred 3yo, she was five lengths behind 'Journal Entry' and one in back of 'I Give Up' that afternoon. Bred, owned and trained by Alexis Barba, this filly has Drayden van Dyke aboard for the first time, and may get a minor award at a huge price.
