Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (KIDORO) (5-1) - One of a pair entered by leading trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. Daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' stretches out in distance and moves from dirt to turf for her 2nd start. She raced evenly in a well-backed debut sprinting on the main track at Belmont June 7. Working fast since she's bred for the grass, has the rail, and Javier Castellano stays aboard.

2nd pick: #7 (Civil Union) (7-2) - The second of the pair from Chad Brown, home-bred by 'War Front' is one of three making their debuts. In steady training here since early June, she has 10 local published drills, has Jose Ortiz aboard, and she's a win candidate if ready.

3rd pick: #6 (Soar From Shadows) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Jimmy Toner and the pair race as separate betting interests. Daughter of 'Bernardini' has finished within a comfortable range in all four turf starts and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Shamrock Babe) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Scat Daddy' missed by a 'neck' at this level going a mile at Gulfstream Park April 22. Freshened up for three months following that near miss, she raced evenly in her return here July 21. She's worked twice since and looks set to be competitive at a square price.
