Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (MISCHIEVOUS MO) (2-1) - A lightly raced gelding by 'Into Mischief,' he rallied to miss by a length here at this level going 7.5 furlongs July 21. It was his first since Feb. 15, first for Joel Berndt, and first in a claimer. He travels an additional furlong in this spot and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Semi Charged Day) (7-2) - He finished 3rd here July 21 and was 1.5 lengths behind 'Mischievous Mo' at the wire. It was his first at this level, and he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Little Instigator) (5-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, he set a pressured pace in the same last race as both 'Mischievous Mo' and 'Semi Charge Day' and held gamely to miss by just under three lengths. Improving sort must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Slightly Crafty) (12-1) - He's making start # 18 in search of his first win and believe a minor award with a late rally at a square price is his ceiling.
