Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (AMEERAH B) (3-1) - A $350K purchase, this filly has been freshened up since finishing 2nd in both starts during the spring at Santa Anita. She missed by a 'head' at this distance May 27, is working fast, and has blinkers on. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #11 (Miss Bigly) (9-2) - She has a late running style and has been competitive in all five attempts, each coming at this level and distance. A win candidate in the final furlong.
3rd pick: #7 (Mo Me Mo My) (5-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' finished a wide and close up 3rd here at this level July 28 in her first try going a two-turn distance. She has some early speed and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (She's Our Charm) (8-1) - Away slowly when debuting here in a grass sprint, she rallied strongly to miss by a length. Ignored in the betting (24-1) that day, she's stretching out in distance here, and is a threat with a better get away.
