Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (BONUS BABY) (12-1) - This longshot showed good early speed before tiring while debuting against 'open' company May 2 at Oaklawn Park. Given a 10-week break by Jeremiah Englehart, she raced evenly while wide after a troubled break on a sloppy surface at Belmont July 10. He has her working steadily, drops her in class, and switches her to the grass for this attempt. Most by 'Flatter' handle the turf, and she has a good chance at a big price.

2nd pick: #12 (Dream Chasing) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished a pace-setting 2nd at this level going six furlongs at Belmont July 12. It was career-best and came in her second attempt with Lasix added. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Robin Sparkles) (5-1) - One of two entered by Bruce Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. She tired badly after showing good early speed when debuting at Belmont in the same July 10 race as 'Bonus Baby.' She's down in class, switching to the turf, and Jose Ortiz stays aboard.

4th pick: #6 (She's So Naughty) (6-1) - She finished a pace-pressing 2nd at this level in an 'off the turf' contest at Belmont July 10. Another on the grass for the first time, Castellano gets board, and this filly must be left in the mix.
