Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CHUBBY MASTER) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Englehart, and the pair race uncoupled. He's dropping down for this attempt after an even local effort at this distance while facing tougher July 23. Gets a slight edge here.

2nd pick: #1 (Noneedtoflatterme) (3-1) - Lightly raced gelding has been sharp in three of his four races on the dirt and was a winner here going six furlongs for a $16K price tag July 28. He cleared the 2l condition that afternoon and moves up the ladder to face 3l foes. Speed/stalker has the rail and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #9 (Swift One) (10-1) - The second of the Chris Englehart trained pair, he has good early speed, and a fine outside post at this distance to use it from. Longshot should be involved from start-to-finish at a big price.

4th pick: #10 (Monte Man) (6-1) - One run type tired here facing tougher July 23 in his second back off a seven-week freshening. Fits with his best, and he's never race below a $25K claiming price. Must be left in the mix.
