Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RAKASSAH) (2-1) - This Irish import has gone 4-2-2-0 since coming to No. America sometime late last year. The 3yo finished 2nd here at this level and distance July 10 and did so after a poor beginning. Lightly raced, she has Prat back aboard, and I give this 3yo a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Sold It) (5-1) - She ran poorly here facing tougher July 24, but she had some traffic issues that afternoon. This daughter of 'The Factor' had been competitive five straight at that level, and this former stakes performer drops to a new low for this attempt. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Road Rager) (6-1) - She had some traffic issues here July 10 when finishing two lengths behind 'Rakassah.' It was a good effort and leading jockey Umberto Rispoli stays aboard. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Saints Paynter) (15-1) - A very lightly raced 4yo, she tired late after setting a quick and pressured pace here going a mile at this level July 3. It was her second back following a year's layoff, and she's cutting back in distance while stringing starts together. She has the rail and is capable of factoring at a big price.
