Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (RECESS) (3-1) - Freshened up since June 2, this $140K filly finished 4th of 11, beaten almost 2 length that day racing at this level and distance at Belmont. It was her first ever in a claimer and this Pletcher trained 3yo gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Mrs Orb) (7-2) - She rallied to check in second of 12, missing by 2.5 lengths at this level going a mile at Belmont July 5. It was her first start in 6 months, her first in a claimer, and only her second of 10 on the grass. A daughter of 'Orb', stalker is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Fika) (8-1) - She raced extremely wide every step when finishing 5.5 length behind 'Mrs Orb' July 5 at Belmont. It was her first race since Nov. 22, she's breezed twice here since, and Luis Saez stays aboard. In the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Crater Rim) (20-1) - Longshot was never involved sprinting here at this level July 13. Veteran maiden had a tough outside post (10 of 10) and moves to the rail while stretching back out in distance. With a patient ride, this 5yo mare may grab a minor award at a big price.
