Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SLIDING LADY) (3-1) - Filly ships in from Presque Isle Downs where she's finished second in two straight racing on the Tapeta surface. Capable on real dirt, speed/stalker gets a slight edge in her Delaware debut.
2nd pick: #1 (Zoetic) (9-5) - New York shipper is the morning line and probable favorite. Stalker is taking a big drop and is breaking from the rail. Four-year-old filly has the best overall figures and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Sterling's Dolly) (5-1) - Stretch runner was a winner here at this tag and trip June 2 as she cleared the 2l condition. Competitive in both starts since then, she finished second last out at this level July 6. The outside post is a big negative in two-turn races here, so she'll need a smart ride for any chance at the top spot.
