Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CATBALEE) (7-2) - She tired late here at this level to miss by just over nine lengths June 17. It was her second back off of a 100-day layoff, and she should move forward enough from her ground-saving post to beat this modest group.
2nd pick: #2 (Thinking of Her) (3-1) - The morning-line favorite, she finished three lengths in front of 'Catbalee' last out in her first off a claim and first off a four-month layoff. Stalker is lightly raced and an obvious win candidate tonight.
3rd pick: #6 (Orthodrive) (6-1) - This 5yo mare raced evenly when checking in a distant 4th facing tougher at this distance in an 'off the turf' contest June 26. She was five lengths back of 'Catbalee' at this level in late Dec., so she'll need to improve in this spot.
