Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CONSCIENCE) (5-2) - Well bred 5-year-old is lightly-raced and has been competitive on both dirt and grass when facing tougher. He ships from Pimlico where he chased the pace and held to finish third going five furlongs on the turf when facing better June 12. He's racing first off a private sale and a trainer change to Mike Maker (21% with new arrivals). He drops him in class, moves him from grass to dirt, and extends him a furlong in distance.

2nd pick: #3 (To the Victor) (3-1) - Stretch runner ships from Philly Park where he ran both wide and evenly June 21, going seven furlongs racing for a $25K tag. It was his first start in three months and is a threat from off the pace.

3rd pick: #2 (Swivel) (6-1) - He's racing first off a claim and the new barn brings him back a month later at the price hey got him at ($14K). Four-year-old by 'Tiznow' fits with his best, but has to try and not fall to far behind in the opening 1/4 mile.

4th pick: #4 (Manhattan Johnnie) (20-1) - The main speed, he's tired badly in all five starts since coming back from a 6.5 month layoff Feb 12. He should get an easy early lead and that makes him potentially dangerous at a very big price.
