Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (PONDER LEA) (5-2) - Freshened up since early January, four-year-old by 'More Than Ready' is working fast for Rich Baltas (21% off of long layoffs). Filly has finished 2nd in two straight at this level and can win this if ready of the seven month break.
2nd pick: #5 (Basie Boots) (7-2) - Stretch runner moves up in class in her first off a Mike Pender claim. Following a poor debut March 24 at Santa Anita, she's gone 5-1-3-1 since then. Three-year-old rallied to check in third here for a $40K tag July 21, and she had all sorts of problems at the break.
3rd pick: #1 (The Cat's Leavin) (5-1) - Un-raced since March 24, she was an easy gate-to-wire winner that day when debuting at this trip for a $50K claiming price at Santa Anita. Heavily bet that afternoon (6-5), five-year-old mare is training fast locally for her return.
