Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DRINK) (7-2) - He's finished 2nd in two straight at this level and distance, the latest coming when he missed by a 'nose' July 4 at Los Alamitos. He's worked here three times since and gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #6 (Boyson) (5-1) - A lightly raced colt by 'Awesome Again,' this $190K purchase is switching from turf to dirt, dropping down in class, and has blinkers on. The presence of leading rider Flavien Prat suggests that the barn likes this one's chances.
3rd pick: #1 (Dinesen) (8-1) - A well bred 3yo, he's racing third back following a 5.5-month layoff. Very wide sprinting here at this tag July 28, he's stretching out in distance on a two-week turnaround, has the rail, and should show whatever he has off the positive set up.
4th pick: #2 (Lostinthemoment) (6-1) - He tired while wide after chasing the pace here at this trip facing tougher July 25. Down in price, this colt draws a much better post and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
