Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DANNY'S RUSH) (3-1) - Colt is dropping in class and stretching out in distance in his second back from almost a seven month layoff. He finished a wide pace-chasing fourth facing tougher going six furlongs in his return June 8 and enters off a sharp half-mile work July 8.

2nd pick: #8 (Incorporate) (6-1) - Longshot stretches out after a very wide fourth place finish here at this tag going seven furlongs June 22. It was useful effort and it's a plus that Javier Castellano is back on the re-ride. Late threat.

3rd pick: #1 (Bats Cleanup) (7-2) - Freshened up since May 27, grey colt raced evenly here at this level going a mile while beaten just over four lengths. Much improved in his last pair, his connections are dropping him into a claimer for the first time.

4th pick: #10 (Risky Sour) (12-1) - On the sidelines since early December, veteran maiden returns a NEW gelding for a different trainer (Mike Aro). No speed type is capable of grabbing a slice at long odds if ready.

5th pick: #11 (Frozen Daiquiri) (20-1) - Longshot tired when debuting in a dirt sprint at Aqueduct Dec. 18. Un-raced since, he's dropping in class, switches to the turf, and is stretching out in distance. May grab a minor award at a big price.
