Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (EMPRESS OF LOV) (2-1) - This veteran filly stretches out in distance after missing by a 'nose' at this level going 6.5 furlongs here at this $8,000 tag July 26. She easily handled three of this afternoon's rivals and gets top billing from her inside post.
2nd pick: #2 (Cee Sam's Girl) (5-1) - Even-paced type drops down to a new low after a distant and non-threatening third place finish here at this distance July 26 facing $12,500 claiming foes. 4yo is a stretch threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Victory Ice) (12-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly when finishing 5.5 lengths behind 'Empress of Lov' sprinting here at this tag July 26. Competitive in a pair out of state prior to that, she's in the nix at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Forbidden Command) (10-1) - Cal. bred mare raced close up before tiring to check in 8 lengths in back of 'Empress of Lov' July 26. It was her third back following a long layoff and she's won 6-of-17 previous starts at today's mile trip.
