Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FIVEINTHEMORNING) (7-2) - One of two fillies entered by trainer Jorge Abreu and they race uncoupled. Lightly-raced she missed by a 'nose' at this level going 6 furlongs at Belmont Park June 13. It was her first race in 7 months and 3yo should win this with a clean break and trip.

2nd pick: #10 (Nazay) (4-1) - One-run type rallied to finish second at this level going 6 furlongs July 4 at Belmont. She's had inside posts in her last three starts and believes the move to an outside slot is in her favor.

3rd pick: #3 (Ailish) (5-1) - The second of the Abreu trained fillies, she's dropping into a claimer and shortening up in distance for her first since June 2. Working fast locally, it's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #5 (Truly Courageous) (8-1) - Speedy 4-year-old shortens up a bit after finishing a pace-setting third at this tag going 6 furlongs at Belmont July 14. She's worked fast twice since and is a threat on the lead at a square price.
