Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RATAJKOWSKI) (8-5) - A lightly raced mare by 'Drosselmeyer', she's been competitive in all three starts. Latest saw her miss by just under a length here at this level and distance July 25 and she defeated a pair of today's rivals in the process. 5yo worked fast Aug 9 and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Paved With Gold) (2-1) - Nicely bred 3yo raced outside of 'Ratajkowski' last out and tired late to finish 2 1/2 in back of that older rival. Daughter of 'Street Sense' draws inside of her today and expect her to be involved every step. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Beyond Discreet) (10-1) - Old timer was never involved while racing evenly finishing in back of both 'Ratajkowski' and 'Paved With Gold' July 25. It was her first start in three months and this 5yo may get a share at a square price.

4th pick: #6 (Singular Sensation) (6-1) - A home bred filly by 'Mineshaft', she's switching from grass to dirt following an even effort at this distance on the grass here July 14. She reared at the break and was off slowly, so the effort can be viewed as a 'toss'. A maiden winner on the Belmont dirt June 20, she may get a slice with a clean beginning.
