Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BELGIAN) (5-2) - He's moving up a bit in value and shortening up in distance in the first following a Mike Maker claim. Consistent 4-year-old missed by a 'head' going 7 furlongs June 20 at Belmont for a $35K tag the day he changed barns. Capable at this distance, he gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Shangroyal) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Wesley Ward and the pair race uncoupled. He's fast from the gate, is stakes placed in his only previous grass attempt, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Canadian Flyer) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 6-year-old has been away from action for just over a year. Stalker has had his career broken up by many layoffs of various lengths, but fits if ready and has a ground-saving post.
4th pick: #3 (The Queens Jules) (8-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Wesley Ward, lightly-raced 3-year-old by 'Scat Daddy' has won two of three including a score in Ohio going a mile in an allowance June 30. He'll need to step it up in this spot, but clearly has room for upside and it's noted that John Velazquez is aboard.
