Top pick: #4 (VIGILANTE LAW) (2-1) - Veteran gelding drops back down after showing little racing for a $16K tag on a sloppy track June 13th. He'd won his previous start here for a $5K claiming price and has a bit more speed than most entered.
2nd pick: #6 (Mason's Hope) (9-5) - He's the main speed and will be stretching out in distance after a trio of local sprints on this surface. Latest effort, a third-place finish a week ago was his best overall since early October. Dangerous rival, he's one of two entered by trainer Alejandro Reyes and the pair race uncoupled.
3rd pick: #3 (Mister Dish) (7-2) - The second of the Reyes pair, he was only a 1/2 back of "Vigilante" on May 27th, but has regressed a bit in a pair following a claim that afternoon. Veteran likes this surface (15-2-7-1) and this is his favorite distance (26-6-5-5).
