Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (WHAT'S BRUIN) (6-1) - Price play finished second at this level and distance April 22 at Santa Anita. However, in her follow up on the grass at the same trip May 12 she tired after chasing a fast pace while between horses. Freshened up since she's working steadily and draws a fine outside post.
2nd pick: #3 (Royal Descendent) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she rallied while wide to finish second when debuting at this level June 1 at Santa Anita going 7 furlongs. She has blinkers on and home bred drilled a bullet half-mile July 12. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Tandalicious) (3-1) - Stalker has finished third in both starts at this level, one each on dirt and turf. Freshened up since June 10, home bred by 'Lemon Drop Kid' worked a sharp 5 furlongs from the gate here July 21. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Varanasi) (9-2) - $385,000 daughter of the swift 'Jimmy Creed' has finished third in both starts each at this level going shorter. She has the rail, a fast local 5-furlong work July 24, and is capable of factoring with some improvement.
