Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (UNUSUALLY GREEN) (3-1) - This hard hitting mare has finished second in two straight, the latest coming here at this $32K tag going 8.5 furlongs July 25. That ran her local record to 9-2-4-0 and she getstop billing.

2nd pick: #4 (Murad Khan) (5-2) - French bred mare drops to a new low in her first start since May 24, first on the West Coast, and first for trainer Lenny Powell. She was sub-par last out at Churchill Downs before the vacation, but had been sharp five straight prior to that facing tougher. A win candidate if ready.

3rd pick: #2 (Very Very Stella) (6-1) - Longshot moves back to the grass following a pair of good starts on the dirt. Consistent 7yo was a solid turf performer early in her career and her early speed makes her a threat today at a square price.

4th pick: #1 (BuckstopperKit) (7-2) - No-speed type rallied to finish a close up fifth here at this tag July 25. Filly was just under 3 lengths behind 'Unusually Green that afternoon and runs today fresh off a Bob Hess Jr claim (26%). 4yo has a ground saving post and a fast/and or contested pace would help her chances out.
