Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (LITTLE BIT LOVELY) (2-1) - Speedy mare is dropping back into a claimer while cutting back in distance. She set a very fast pace before tiring to check in third going a mile facing tougher June 18. She's won three times on the local infield and all have been at this 6.5 furlong trip.

2nd pick: #1 (Pica) (6-1) - Veteran mare has been freshened up since she was beaten four lengths here at this distance facing a bit tougher May 11. She has a ground saving post and her trainer (Ed Truman) is 7-for-19 (37%) at this meet.

3rd pick: #5 (Not Too Shiny) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 7-year-old has been sharp in all three starts at this level and distance coming of almost a half-year's absence April 1. Stretch runner should be finishing fast again in this spot.

4th pick: #6 (Summer Lady) (4-1) - Grey mare was beaten a 'neck' here by 'Not Too Shiny' May 28 in her first race since Jan 16. Five-year-old runs first off a Mike Machowsky claim and he's had a solid overall meet (36-7-7-7).
