Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FLASHING ANGELBABY) (4-1) - A lightly raced 3yo, he won by 8 lengths here at this tag and trip June 19 as he cleared the 2l condition. By far a career best, he's back on a 22-day turnaround in his initial attempt at this 3l level. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Point of America) (5-2) - He ships from Louisiana Downs where he tired badly after chasing the pace going two-turns for a $7,500 tag in a contest that was taken 'off the turf'. He's dropping back down, shortening up in distance, and this 4yo is from a winning barn (Ed Ramirez) . A recent bullet half-mile work here June 27 is noted.

3rd pick: #6 (Jill's Smooth Air) (3-1) - Consistent sort has been competitive here in three straight at this level while at three different distances. He finished second going 7 furlongs May 1, third at 6.5 furlongs May 17, and third again June 19 going two-turns. An obvious contender.

4th pick: #1 (Comebackwilson) (6-1) - He cleared the 2l condition here at this tag going 5 furlongs May 17, then ran both wide and evenly at this level when beaten 4 lengths June 27. 3yo moves from an outside post to the rail and is capable of factoring at a square price.
