Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DER LU) (5-2) - One of a pair entered by Bob Baffert, this $900,000 daughter of 'Malibu Moon' has been on the sidelines since Sept. 29 when she tired to finish a distant 4th in the G1 Chandler Stakes. A winner of her debut at Del Mar Aug. 5, she's training fast, has a good post today, and can beat these if ready.

2nd pick: #1 (Bowl of Soul) (3-1) - The second of the Baffert fillies, she won her debut here May 27 out-classing three rivals in a quick time 1:10.60. Bet down to 3-5 favoritism, this $400K purchase has worked twice since and is an obvious win candidate here.

3rd pick: #4 (Time for Ebby) (6-1) - This longshot is an even paced type who finished a non-threatening 2nd here at this level June 2. Veteran mare is capable of getting a share, but one the top two selections are more likely to win this.

4th pick: #6 (Donut Girl) (12-1) - Her habit of breaking slowly is a big negative, although she's been competitive a number of times after doing so. The level, distance, and and outside post are positives. She'll be making up ground late.
