Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MR LEO) (3-1) - He's cutting back in distance after finishing 3rd here at this level going a mile June 10. It was his first start since March 14, and he should be much sharper in his second back following the three-month rest.

2nd pick: #4 (Last Battle) (4-1) - He finished an even and non-threatening 4th here last out and was far back of 'Mr. Leo.' Colt has regressed after being sharp in his first pair, and the return to a sprint can make him a factor.

3rd pick: #5 (Super Mamba) (7-2) - A $130K son of 'Super Saver,' he's shown nothing in his first pair facing tougher and is taking a big drop here for a new trainer off a 7.5-month layoff.

4th pick: #8 (Thunk) (5-1) - This 3yo drops after a wide and even 4th place finish sprinting here against tougher June 11. It was his first race in 10 weeks, and he's dropping into a claimer for the first time. In the mix.
