Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DISCREET IMAGE) (10-1) - Longshot finished a pace-pressing second at this level going a mile at Belmont July 14. It was a solid effort and 4yo has raced herself back into shape following almost a 7-month layoff. Home bred has more speed than most and has a good shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #9 (Theaterintheround) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she had some traffic issues when finishing fourth of eight, beaten 3 lengths at this level June 24 at Belmont. It was her first facing winners and lightly-raced 4yo is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Cause Me Grief) (4-1) - Speed/stalker has been sharp in all three starts since switching to the grass May 1 at Churchill Downs. She's racing first off a Pat Reynolds claim and the initial trainer of 'Big Brown' has her spotted where she should be involved every step.
4th pick: #1 (Questeq) (8-1) - Even paced and 'long winded,' she has the rail and enters off a sharp second-place finish here July 25. It was her best overall since last fall and 4yo is a stretch threat if able to avoid any traffic issues while racing off the pace in this large field.
