Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CONQUEST STREETWAR) (5-2) - $400K son of 'Street Cry' ships from Churchill Downs where he was beaten just under two lengths going seven furlongs facing tougher June 18. Trainer Mark Casse is dropping him into a claimer for the first time, and regular rider Julien Leparoux is aboard.

2nd pick: #9 (Joywave) (7-2) - Dangerous foe was entered by trainer Rudy Rodriguez for the 'main track only.' Freshened up since June 11, $330K son of 'Harlan's Holiday' missed by a 'neck' going 8.5 furlongs at Pimlico when last in action. Barn drops him into a claimer for the first time, and he draws a fine outside post. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Proud Zip) (4-1) - Lightly raced gelding moves up in class following a 3rd place finish at Belmont June 24 racing for a $50K tag. It was a career best, but he'll need to improve a bit today for anything more than a minor award. He does have room for upside.
