Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (VOODOO SONG) (9-2) - This veteran speed-ball tired after stalking the pace here going a mile in a G3 stakes July 12. It was his first start since Oct. 6 and he most likely needed the race for conditioning purposes. Home bred is 5-for-7 on the local turf, is the main speed, and he enters off a bullet 5 furlong breeze on the grass July 28.
2nd pick: #1 (Noble Indy) (8-1) - He's improved overall since switching to the grass in his last pair. 4yo has the rail, a speed/stalking style, and should receive a solid pace picture to track. Price play has the Pletcher/Velazquez combo in his corner and you get them at a large odds for a change.
3rd pick: #3 (Projected) (8-1) - He's one of three from the barn of Chad Brown and the trio run as separate betting interests. This old timer missed by just under a length in this stakes a year ago and has been competitive without winning in all four local attempts. In the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Say the Word) (10-1) - Canadian bred 4yo ships from Woodbine where he finished third of eight, beaten just under 2 lengths going a mile in a rich Group 2 stakes June 29. He's in career best form, is from the patient barn of Graham Motion, and is a late threat.
