Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (COIL AND STRIKE) (3-1) - This filly ships from Pleasanton, where she tired while wide debuting there on the deep dirt surface June 22. Well backed that afternoon, she drops into a claimer today, meets a weak looking group, and I like her chances.
2nd pick: #5 (A Royal Ace) (7-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished 2nd at this tag and distance facing fellow Cal breds June 30. Back on a quick turnaround, this daughter of the swift 'Tenga Cat' is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Sweet Poison) (12-1) - Longshot has a steady series of works at Santa Anita in preparation for her debut. The best was an above average three furlongs from the gate June 16, and it's noted the small barn of Paul Aguirre is having a strong run here (7-2-1-3).
