Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CHELSEA CLOISTERS) (7-2) - Well-traveled filly won her debut sprinting on the Keeneland dirt April 19 then was sent to England for a Group 2 grass stakes June 22. She was beaten by only 3 lengths in a field of 22 and was sent to France. $125K purchase finished second in a Group 3 when facing males July 3 and has been freshened up since. Working fast locally and she gets top billing.

2nd pick: #8 (Stillwater Cove) (10-1) - From the same barn (Wesley Ward) as 'Chelsea Cloisters' she won her Keeneland debut April 8, then tired after leading in a Group 3 in England June 22. I like her outside post, Irad Ortiz Jr is aboard, and think this filly can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #2 (Drynachan) (3-1) - New York-bred daughter of 'City Zip' won her debut here July 20 racing at this distance. Bet down to 2-1 favoritism, she's from the barn of Chad Brown and Javier Castellano stays aboard.

4th pick: #6 (Elsa) (9-2) - Godolphin home bred ships from Laurel where she was an easy winner when debuting on the grass at this trip July 20. Working fast since she can't be eliminated.
