Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CLEANUP HITTER) (8-5) - The morning line favorite and a deserving one. Four-year-old is dropping to a new low and shortens up in distance following a close up third place finish going 8.5 furlongs facing $35K claimers June 30. Working fast since, gelding will tough to beat in this spot.

2nd pick: #3 (Colonial Power) (7-2) - Well bred 5-year-old is another dropping down a bit while cutting back a bit in distance. He has early speed, fits on figures, and is brought back on a quick turnaround (12 days).

3rd pick: #6 (Thorny Issue) (8-1) - Golden Gate shipper has been competitive there are both the Tapeta surface and grass course. He has some early speed and can grab a share at a big price if he handles the conventional dirt here.

4th pick: #8 (Bloodletting) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he's stretching out in distance and expect him to take them as far as he can at a square price.
