Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (D'WILDBARONESS) (4-1) - This veteran mare missed by just under a length here at this level and distance June 17 in her first race in almost 10 months. Competitive locally in seven of 10 overall, I give this 5yo Florida-bred a small edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Cajun Music) (3-1) - A very lightly raced mare, this 5yo has been idle since Aug. 3 when she finished close up here facing tougher in her first against winners. No speed type is in a claimer for the first time and is a late threat if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (War Bandit) (5-1) - Homebred rallied to break her maiden here by a 'nose' at this distance Facing $12.5K state-bred claimers June 10. Competitive in her prior pair, she's nicely spotted today, and Tim Thornton is staying aboard.
4th pick: #6 (Molly Golightly) (7-2) - On the sidelines since March 12, she rallied to finish 3rd that day at the Fair Grounds sprinting at this level. Training steadily for her local debut, 3yo must be left in the mix.
