Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (ULATIONS) (6-1) - Price play appears to be nearing his best following his return from a half-year's absence June 2. Speed/stalker was only beaten four lengths at this tag and trip just nine days ago in his best since getting back into action. He has back class and has a solid shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #5 (Four Directions) (7-2) - Gelding drops down a bit following a pair of back-to-back third place finishes here for a $7,500 claiming price. Five-year-old as the best recent figures and is dropping to the local bottom ($5000) for the first time. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (British Agent) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred. he raced evenly following a slow start racing here at this level on a sloppy surface July 25. He had gone 5-2-2-1 prior to that and speedy 4-year-old should be involved every step.

4th pick: #2 (Space Cowboys) (12-1) - Grey gelding continues to race evenly. Four-year-old was showing some signs of nearing his best in early July, but has broken slowly in his last pair. In a winning barn (Jeff Englehart) and can factor at long odds with a clean beginning.
