Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SAND CITY) (2-1) - Daughter of the recently deceased 'City Zip' held down the place spot at this level going six furlongs at Belmont July 9. A career best, it came in her second start back from a half-year's layoff. She draws a good outside post, a recent bullet work, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #4 (Corey Q) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly is from the barn of leading trainer Chad Brown (14 for 48, 29%) at the meet. She's racing second back from a long layoff, drops in class, goes turf to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. A win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Quick On the Draw) (7-2) - This filly is working very fast locally, and that's a positive sign as many horses turn their form around at this country like atmosphere. Trainer, Jim Bond drops her into a claimer, and it's noted that she has top jockey Jose Ortiz aboard for this attempt. Dangerous in this spot.
