Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (JOHNNY RAY) (2-1) - Large horse needs some time to find his best stride and he should appreciate the long stretch here. Competitive in five straight, he runs first off a claim by Los Al regular Charlie Treece. He moves him up just a bit and gelding gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Geocas Dream) (3-1) - Speedy sort is racing 3rd back following a two month freshening and has tired in his return pair facing tougher. He's dropping back down, moving back to the dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Rocking Chieftan) (20-1) - Long shot ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he tired badly at this claiming price going a mile on the grass June 10. Home bred bay hold down a minor award at a big price.
