Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BOLD AGAIN) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt is making only his second start. Three-year-old raced evenly when debuting at Indiana Downs going 8.5 furlongs on the grass for a $16,000 price tag June 28. He races today off a positive trainer change to Keith Nations (18% with new arrivals). Barn switches him to the dirt, drops him down, and he meets a very weak field. The only real negative is his outside post.
2nd pick: #5 (Lovely Lad) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he's raced evenly in his first pair here on the grass facing tougher. Four-year-old has not broken cleanly in either but has taken betting action. A win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Junior Jokester) (12-1) - Gelding tired sprinting here for this tag July 3. It was his first start in three months and it came off a trainer change. Capable of impacting at this longer distance, but he needs to do better for anything more than a minor award.
