Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SUCCESS RATE) (2-1) - Veteran is racing first off an Ed Freeman claim and a subsequent eight week freshening. He's by far the classiest horse entered has the best figures. Six-year-old can beat these with his 'A' game.
2nd pick: #9 (Initiative) (8-1) - Grey gelding has a speed/stalking style and is moving up a bit in class while stretching out in distance. Lightly-raced 8-year-old is 7-for-20 when racing on conventional dirt and can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (Warren's Cole) (6-1) - Since coming back from a 14.5 month layoff in late May, stretch runner has gone 6-1-3-0. Seven-year-old faces tougher this afternoon but is capable of getting a share at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Zoe's Cajun) (4-1) - Over the past 20 months, veteran has raced in Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and California. He won here going shorter facing weaker and was reclaimed for the third time by trainer Wilton Whitehouse. Must be left in the same race exotic bets.
