Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (GIVEHERDALUTE) (5-2) - Debuting daughter of 'Midnight Lute' has some fast works on view including a bullet half-mile from the gate at Los Alamitos Aug. 14. In the Baffert barn (38% first out) over the past 20 months and he wins at a 36% clip when teamed up with jockey Drayden Van Dyke.
2nd pick: #3 (Creative Contessa) (9-2) - Expensive ($235,000) daughter of 'Creative Cause' is another with some sharp a.m. drills heading into her debut. She worked a quick half-mile from the gate here Aug. 19 and it's noted that trainer Mick Ruis (25% with first-time-starters) has Flavien Prat aboard.
3rd pick: #9 (Kindred) (7-2) - The 4-year-old rallied to finish second here at this level in a slowly run 6.5-furlong contest Aug. 4. $250K daughter of 'Candy Ride' must be left in the mix but I wouldn't take too short a price on her.
4th pick: #10 (Magical Gray) (5-1) - Daughter of 'The Factor'set a pressured pace and held to finish a close-up third when debuting here in a 5-furlong grass sprint. She's worked since is back on a quick turnaround (13 days) and switches from turf to dirt.
