Rating:




#2 ELIZABETH'S FEVER (ML=8/1)
#5 PREFER DIAMONDS (ML=9/5)
#1 DIVINE SPARK (ML=6/1)
ELIZABETH'S FEVER - If this mare gets out of the gate cleanly, she'll be tough to catch. Gonzalez and Martinez have had terrific success together over the last year. This thoroughbred coming off a solid performance in the last month is a win candidate in my opinion. PREFER DIAMONDS - Ran on the wrong surface in her last race. The speed rating of 83 on Jun 29th at Suffolk Downs two races back is good enough to win this event. DIVINE SPARK - Bernardini has an 'uncoupled' entry here. Best to beware of the longer priced half. This mare is at the top in earnings per race entered. Give the once over to this one in the post parade.
Vulnerable Contenders: #6 ROMAN AROUND (ML=2/1), #4 WINDWARD STORM (ML=4/1), #3 MADDYMAX (ML=8/1),
ROMAN AROUND - Difficult to put any dough on this filly on the front end. Likes to end up on the board though. WINDWARD STORM - Don't believe this entrant will do much running in today's event. That last speed rating was most unsatisfactory when compared with today's class figure. MADDYMAX - This racer didn't do much last time finishing fifth. Can't expect any improvement in today's race.
GUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - ELIZABETH'S FEVER - This mare improved her speed rating two races back on July 22nd and improved again in the last race.| STRAIGHT WAGERS: | Bet on #2 ELIZABETH'S FEVER to win if you can get at least 4/1 odds |
