Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (LEVELER) (4-1) - Competitive in all four starts on the dirt, trainer Phil D'Amato will switch her to the grass for the first time. Bred to handle the surface, filly missed by a 'neck' here on the main track at this distance July 27.

2nd pick: #6 (C C Zipp) (7-2) - Daughter of City Zip' missed by a 1/2 length here at this level going 8.5 furlongs July 29. A career best, it came in her first ever on the grass and first racing around two-turns. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Victoria Falls) (15-1) - Longshot moves up in class after finishing an even fourth here for a $75K tag Aug 7. Four-year-old fits on figures and draws a ground saving post. Can factor at a big price.

4th pick: #5 (Whistle Pretty) (5-1) - Calumet home bred was away slowly when debuting here July 23. She raced both wide and evenly while checking in a non-threatening third. A Filly by 'War Chant' can factor with an alert break.

5th pick: #10 (Onzaway) (9-2) - No-speed type draws a tough post and that may limit her to a small slice. She would need a fast and/or contested pace for any shot at winning this.
