Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (JES JAA) (5-2) - He's dropping down in value in his second start back from a six week break. Four-year-old finished a wide and even third facing tougher in a five furlong sprint at Los Alamitos July 14. He had finished second at this level in his previous start and draws a ground saving post.
2nd pick: #3 (Zarqua Star) (7-2) - Another dropping down and racing second back off a break (eight weeks). He was beaten just over two lengths facing tougher on the grass July 3 and he's been competitive in two of three here on the dirt in the past.
3rd pick: #6 (Strong Values) (5-1) - Competitive in all four on the dirt since returning from a 17 month layoff in early April, he has a stalking style and a fine outside post to use it from. Stretch threat.
