Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BLUE ANCHOR) (7-2) - He's racing first off a Bob Diodoro claim ( a 24% winning angle). Speed/stalker won at this level and distance June 17 at Santa Anita, but tired here July 23 the day he changed barns. Fits and he can take this from on or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #5 (Mr Opportunist) (2-1) - Lightly-raced colt is racing himself back into shape since returning from a 10 month layoff March 30. He finished second July 9 at this level and distance racing at Los Alamitos and has been working fast since. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (New Karma) (6-1) - Veteran moves up in price following a third place finish here for a $32,000 tag July 22. He has back class, draws a good outside post for this trip, and enters off a sharp half-mile work Aug 12.
