Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LEGEND OF LORELEI) (3-1) - New York invader has been competitive in all five starts since being claimed by trainer Dan Gargan for $40K early in January. Speed/stalker has been sharp in both grass races and can beat these with a 'trouble' free trip.
2nd pick: #11 (Shades of Grey) (9-2) - French bred and lightly raced, she just missed here at this tag and trip July 22. Claimed that day by veteran Jim Thompson, he brings her back in just over two weeks at the claimed price. A major factor if she can avoid a wide trip from her outside post.
3rd pick: #4 (Brianna's Bucket) (5-1) - She's been competitive in six of her last seven grass starts and was just in front of 'Shades of Grey' here July 22. Stretch runner is racing third back from a 10-week break and will be finishing fast.
4th pick: #7 (Cosmopolitan Girl) (4-1) - Filly makes her local debut following a 'troubled' start at Saratoga July 22. Her lack of speed is a concern, and she'll need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a small slice.
