Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ELEGANT ZIP) (5-2) - Nice debut here July 25 saw her chase the pace and hold down the place spot racing at this level going 5.5 furlongs. She's worked since and this homebred should like the additional 1/16th of a mile she travels in this spot.

2nd pick: #1 (Mimic) (5-1) - One of four making their debuts, she's bred for speed, has the rail, and has been in steady training here since late May. From a good barn (Rudy Rodriguez) and he's won with 98-of-462 (21%) when teamed up homebred jockey Irad Ortiz Jr since the beginning of 2017.

3rd pick: #3 (Tossup) (2-1) - The probable favorite, $230,000 daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' finished second in a $100K stakes for fellow New York-bred fillies when debuting at Belmont Park July 15. She worked a bullet half-mile here July 31 and is an obvious win candidate.
