Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BUNDESLIGA) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, he's racing first off a claim by him (20%). grey gelding rallied to finish third after a poor start when debuting at this level going 6.5 furlongs June 19 at Santa Anita. Well bred 3-year-old was originally in the Baffert barn and cost $112K. Can win this with an alert break.
2nd pick: #12 (Alaskan Cruise) (5-1) - He's dropping way down in class in his second back from a three month layoff. Gelding tired while racing evenly June 19 for a $40K tag and has worked twice since. Competitive several times facing tougher earlier in his career he should factor in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Third Brigade) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, $240K 3-year-old by 'Exchange Rate' has shown little in a pair of starts facing much tougher. He has a hint of speed and whatever he has to give should come out in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Hoosier Road) (9-2) - The second of the O'Neill pair, has some speed and draws the rail. He's finished third in three straight and most likely he'll be facing outside speed pressure. Needs to do better.
5th pick: #11 (One for My Baby) (15-1) - Lightly-raced, he tired last out at this tag after pressing a fast pace. It was his first start in almost 13.5 months and he's from the winning barn of Bob Diodoro.
