Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (ABOUT THAT BASE) (7-2) - Filly enters off a wide and even race when debuting here at this level going six furlongs on the dirt Aug 4. Trainer Todd Pletcher (28% second time out) keeps her in this switched contest and her outside post and extra furlong give her the edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Filly Madison) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she stretches out in distance after finishing a pace-pressing second here at this level going 5.5 furlongs July 31. Trainer Ken McPeek adds Lasix and has her going a bit farther. An obvious contender.

3rd pick: #7 (Forever Poppi) (6-1) - She has a bit of early speed and last out she chased while widest before tiring to finish fourth, five lengths behind 'Filly Madison.' Grey filly can get a slice of this at a big price with a bit of improvement.

4th pick: #5 (Courtly Kitty) (20-1) - She finished behind both 'Filly Madison' and 'Forever Poppi' last out. Longshot has off-track experience and may last for a share at a very big price.
