Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CENTR OF THE STAGE) (5-1) - Blinkers go on filly who has raced greenly in her first pair. She showed an improved effort here at this level and distance July 21 when she was on the grass for the first time. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez adds blinkers (19%) and Irad Ortiz Jr, stays aboard. Has a good shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #2 (Scatback) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she was received a lot of betting support when debuting here July 21. She raced a bit wide and greenly before rallying to finish fourth, 2.5 lengths in front of 'Centr Of The Stage.' She's worked since, has the rail, and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #11 (Carrera Cat) (3-1) - Filly is brought back in 15 days by owner/trainer John Morrison. She finished fourth here when debuting that afternoon at this level and distance while having some serious traffic issues. Morrison has had some good horses in the past from his small operation and this home bred is a win candidate.
