Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SOUTHERN KING) (3-1) - He rallied to win going a mile at Santa Anita June 21, then tired here in his local debut facing tougher July 24. Leading trainer Peter Miller drops him into a new low in price, and I give this 4yo a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Hootie) (7-2) - This 6yo by 'Candy Ride' rallied to win here for a $25K tag July 27. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill, a 23% winning angle, he's worked him twice and moves him up a bit in price. A win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Worthy Turk) (4-1) - A barn-mate of 'Southern King,' as both are trained by Peter Miller, he had traffic issues when checking in 3.5 lengths in back of 'Hootie" here July 27. Stretch runner fits well and is a late threat with a trouble free trip.
