Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SOUTHERN THANG) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly is dropping in class and racing with blinkers. New York bred breezed a sharp half-mile at Monmouth July 30 and daughter of 'Freud' can take this from on or just off the top.
2nd pick: #2 (Way to the Bank) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she has the best early speed and is breaking from the rail. Home bred drops down a bit after finishing a pace-setting third at Monmouth July 16 and should be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #4 (Don't Blink) (4-1) - Another dropping a bit, she raced both wide and evenly here when debuting on a muddy surface here for a $25K tag June 28. She was bumped soon after the start and should factor today with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #7 (Previous Version) (6-1) - Filly is dropping down and shortening up in distance. She tired last out going a mile for a $25K tag July 3 after a less that ideal break. Fits and her trainer (Penny Pearce) is having a very good meet.
