Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LEAD GUITAR) (2-1) - A $200,000 purchase, she missed by a 'head' here at this distance facing male rivals Aug. 7. That followed a good third place finish when she debuted at Belmont June 7. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Corey Scores) (5-2) - A $315,000 daughter of 'More Than Ready', she's from the barn of Chad Brown who will be the leading trainer again at this very competitive meet. This 3yo rallied to finish second following a slow start here at this distance July 19. By far a career best, she'll be tough in this spot.
3rd pick: #9 (Plink Freud) (5-1) - Filly had some traffic issues when she rallied to finish third last out, only a 'head' in back of 'Corey Scores'. It was a solid effort and it's a plus that Joel Rosario stays aboard.
4th pick: #5 (Kitty Therapy) (15-1) - Longshot tired to finish behind both 'Corey Scores' and 'Plink Freud' here July 19. Only her second start, her early speed is a plus and she has ample room for upside.
