Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (VALE DORI) (7-5) - Argentine import was a major winner in her native country and ran well in a pair of rich stakes at Meydan in the UAE this past March. Filly missed by a 'neck' here on the dirt Aug 3 in her No. American debut and first for trainer Bob Baffert. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Makena) (4-1) - Daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' has been on the sidelines since April 8 when she won at this trip facing weaker at Santa Anita. Speedy sort is working fast for her return and is a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (The Dream) (8-1) - 4yo was a major stakes winner in her native Chile and is making her 2nd start in No. America. She tired badly in a G1 contest here July 30, but it was her first start since Feb 7. Working nicely since, she should be competitive in this spot.

4th pick: #5 (Moyo Honey) (6-1) - No speed type faces a tough task as her lack of early speed will most likely limit her to a minor award.
