Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AGENT DI NOZZO) (3-1) - Veteran is taking a big drop in class in his first following a Chris Hartman claim (29%) and first on the west coast. Stalker has plenty of back class and has never raced before at this low a claiming price. 7yo should beat these if ready off a 6-week freshening.
2nd pick: #6 (Brother Soldier) (4-1) - Dangerous foe, he has fine early speed and finished a pace-chasing 3rd facing tougher here July 16 going 6-furlongs. It was his first following a Bob Diodoro claim and he drops him back town to price he got him for June 23 ($10,000). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Spin Forty) (5-2) - Freshened up since late June, trainer Mark Glatt is dropping him to a new low and cutting him back in distance. Gelding is working above average and is a perfect 2 for 2 at this trip in the past.
4th pick: #7 (My Secret Affair) (8-1) - Not a strong win threat, he's capable of getting a small slice at a big price with one of his better efforts. 5yo has more early speed than most and that can have him involved today at long odds.
