Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #15 (SALOON GIRL) (8-5) - NOTE: This race has been taken 'off the turf' and will be run on the main track at the same 5.5 furlong distance. This lightly raced filly finished second here facing tougher in a switched contest at this trip July 12. Speed/stalker was racing off just under a 10-month layoff and enters off a very fast bullet half-mile breeze in :46.20, best of 106 at the distance the morning of Aug .17. She'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Zandora) (3-1) - A daughter of the swift 'Jimmy Creed', she finished a pace-setting second here for a $25K tag going 6.5 furlongs July 31. Claimed that day by Chris Englehart, he moves her up in class and she's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #16 (Queen Kahen) (5-1) - Filly tired here for a $25K tag July 19 and will race today fresh off a Mertkan Kantarmaci claim, a 21% winning angle. Very sharp in her first three attempts, 3yo worked fast Aug. 15 after the barn switch and she may factor at a big price.
