Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FLEXIBLE ETHICS) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's dropping in class following a pacesetting second-place finish in a small sprint stakes going five furlongs at Santa Anita July 10. Speed/stalker earned a career best figure that day and can win this with a repeat of that effort.

2nd pick: #1 (Alexita) (8-1) - Longshot tired after rushing up following a slow start in the same last race as 'Flexible Ethics.' Very sharp in three straight prior to that, she has the rail and can be involved from close range from start to finish. Can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #3 (Senza Fina) (6-1) - Mare moves up in class after finishing a pacesetting second when facing weaker here July 20. Once classier type is racing back into shape following a pair of layoffs and is nearing her best. At this point, she needs to do better to handle the top two selections.

4th pick: #5 (Radiant Journey) (9-2) - Lightly-raced mare drops in class in her first off a Mike Mudaris claim. Stalker is racing third back from a 6.5 month layoff and just missed here when debuting last November.
