Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FLUSH) (7-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, she's been competitive in her first pair on the grass after coming off a 2.5 month break June 14. $180,000 purchase ran third here at this level going 9 furlongs July 14 and is shortening up an 1/8th of a mile for this attempt. She gets a slim edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Awesome Alana) (2-1) - From the barn of Chad Brown, filly is training steadily for her first since Dec. 29 and first on the grass. Competitive in two of three on the dirt, Brown wins at a 28% rate off of long layoffs and at a 24% clip with runners making their first turf attempt.
3rd pick: #10 (Short Pour) (4-1) - Sprinter stretches out following a close up 3rd place finish here at this level going 5.5 furlongs on the grass July 31. A career best, it was her second back off a six month layoff and she must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #12 (Questeq) (10-1) - Veteran mare is another stretching back out in distance. Even-paced type was only a length behind short Pour here July 31 and will be a much bigger price.
