Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (AMERICAN GAL) (5-2) - Talented and lightly raced, she was an impressive winner of Belmont's Victory Ride Stakes (G3) going 6.5 furlongs July 9. It was a career best and was her first race in seven months. She draws a nice post at this seven-furlong trip and has leading rider Jose Ortiz aboard for the first time. She gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Faypien) (3-1) - From the barn of Bob Baffert, she's won three in a row, with two of those coming at this seven-furlong distance. Stalker was working very fast at Del Mar before heading East and is a strong factor in this $500K stakes.

3rd pick: #3 (Chalon) (6-1) - Very fast from the gate, she's been freshened up since winning the $150,000 Jersey Girl Stakes going six furlongs at Belmont June 11. That earned her a career best figure and the highest last out number of any entered.

4th pick: #7 (Divine Miss Grey) (20-1) - Longshot steps way up in class while seeking her fourth straight win. Much improved since joining the barn of Danny Gargan during the spring, she's capable of getting a share at a big price.
