Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RICHIE'SLILWILDCAT) (7-2) - A stakes winner at this distance facing fellow Illinois breds at Fairmount Park June 26, she's working fast and is from an excellent Chicago based trainer (Larry Rivelli). She won at Churchill last fall, was competitive at Gulfstream in January, and her ability to run a sub :45 half-mile is impressive. She has an excellent chance to win this in gate-to-wire fashion.
2nd pick: #3 (Our Girl Abby) (3-1) - Filly moves up just a bit after missing by a 'nose' here for a $32K claiming price July 21. It was her first since March 21 when she was an easy winner at Gulfstream and first following a Danny Gargan claim. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Tee Up) (9-2) - She won here July 21 and was a 'nose' in front of 'Our Girl Abby' hat afternoon. Speed/stalker has been sharp in three straight and her draw outside of the other pace types will give rider Matty Franco some early options.
