Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TRUE ROYALTY) (2-1) - Filly sold for $170,000 this past April and had an excellent debut here July 30. Racing at this level going 5.5 furlongs, she was close to the pace, rallied to take a short lead, then fought it out to the wire to finish second. Trainer John Sadler wins at a slick 28% rate second time out and he worked her a big bullet half-mile Aug 21.
2nd pick: #5 (High Drama) (7-2) - Debuting daughter of 'Tapit' is from the barn of Bob Baffert (25% first out). Her last three works have picked up in intensity and she's a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (Secret Spice) (8-1) - Sold for $125,000 as a 2-year-old in training just three months ago, filly has some sharp works showing on her a.m. tab. Trainer Rich Baltas has Rafael Bejarano aboard and they've won with 54 of 224 (24%) when teamed up over the past 19.5 months.
4th pick: #2 (Fantastic Girl) (4-1) - Debuting filly is from the same barn (John Sadler) as top choice 'True Loyalty'. $550,000 daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' worked a sharp half-mile Aug 22 and looks well prepared to contend first out.
