Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (KEEPING THE PEACE) (2-1) - A very lightly raced 4yo, he ships from New Jersey where he was a wire-to-wire maiden winner at this distance May 27. It was his second back following a re-claim by Jayson Servis, and he has this gelding by 'Elusive Quality' nicely spotted in his first facing winners.

2nd pick: #1 (Mandatory Payout) (7-2) - He's dropping down after an even effort going seven furlongs at Belmont June 29 for a $40K tag at today's 2l condition. He was an easy maiden winner there at this trip June 2, and last out was bumped and bounced around at the break. He has the rail, a quick three-furlong breeze July 7, and is a strong win candidate today.

3rd pick: #8 (Elios Milos) (5-1) - New York bred had no chance June 22 when he lunged at the break facing stat bred allowance foes. However, it was his first start in just under a year and he most likely need the race for conditioning purposes. He must be left in the mix here.
