Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TAKE IT EASYPLEASE) (3-1) - I liked her last out but filly broke a bit on the tardy side and could only offer a mild rally to finish third. Nicely spotted in this starter-allowance, 4-year-old has the best shot at knocking off the presumed favorite 'Desert Madam.'

2nd pick: #6 (Desert Madam) (8-5) - Hard hitting mare has improved with age and has gone 7-4-1-1 this year when racing around two-turns on the dirt. She's won two in a row in easy fashion at this meet and is an obvious strong win candidate at a short price.

3rd pick: #4 (Plastered) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old has won half of her first six starts racing on conventional dirt. She has early speed, is lightly raced, and was an easy winner here at this distance July 21. Price play.

4th pick: #2 (Fruity) (7-2) - Irish import was an easy winner here going seven furlongs for a $25K tag Aug 7. Claimed that day by Matt Chew, he brings her back quickly, stretches her out in distance, and has her in where he can't lose her.
