Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SHINING THROUGH) (5-2) - Colt drops down after rallying to finish a fast closing 2nd here at this trip facing tougher July 18. He's gone 7-1-5-1 on the grass and has a pair of maintenance works for this attempt. Also, leading rider Flavien Prat stays aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (Overdue) (3-1) - Lightly raced and quickly improving, he's been sharp in all three starts since trainer Phil D'Amato began sending him around two-turns. Gelding rallied while six-wide to finish 3rd here going a mile July 20. 4yo moves up in class, but draws a much better post today and races with both blinkers and Mike Smith being added.

3rd pick: #1 (Battle of Memphis) (5-1) - Consistent sort finished 2nd here July 20 and was a 1/2-length better than 'Overdue.' Stalker has a ground saving post and enters off a career best figure last out. 4yo must be left in the mix.
