Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (WAPPINGER) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Dan Gargan and the pair race uncoupled. Filly has been freshened up since June 10 and is dropping into a claimer, shortening up in distance, and has blinkers on. $50K purchase draws a fine post at the distance and Jose Ortiz is aboard.
2nd pick: #6 (Third Card Down) (10-1) - Lasix and blinkers are added to $76K purchase who is dropping into a claimer. She tired when debuting against tougher June 14 at Belmont and daughter of 'Freud' received some betting action that afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (One Cool Kitten) (12-1) - Another racing with Lasix added, she tired after setting a pressured pace when debuting at this level June 23 at Belmont. Home bred has worked on the local training track three times since July 8 and all have been well above average.
4th pick: #1 (Lady Vicki) (6-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Gargan she makes his first start for him following a private change. He has her working steadily, drops her in class, and she has the rail. Think she can factor at a square price.
5th pick: #10 (Trinni Ninja) (8-1) - The even-paced filly has finished third in both starts since dropping down to this level. Capable of getting a minor award, but that's her ceiling at this point.
