Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SLAPSTICK) (5-2) - Stalker has been freshened up since finishing second at this level going seven furlongs on the Belmont turf June 25. It was his first ever in a claimer and he's cutting back in distance. he top selection, but make sure you reverse your exactas with him as the shorter trip is not in his favor.

2nd pick: #5 (Peculiar Sensation) (4-1) - Speedy gelding has finished third in all four starts on the dirt when facing a bit weaker. In shape, he's moving up in class and is trying the grass for the first time. I think he'll be involved every step.

3rd pick: #4 (Irish Hope) (6-1) - Another with early speed, he's been competitive in two straight at this level. Improving 3-year-old must do a bit better in the final furlong.

4th pick: #7 (Priest N the Rabbi) (9-2) - Away since Oct 12, strong finisher is working steadily for his return. Four-year-old showed ability last year and is a stretch threat if ready.
