Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (ARI'S NAUGHTY LUCA) (8-5) - He's the main speed, is dropping down in price, and this 3yo my 'Mineshaft' has finished second in two straight. His outside post in this small field is a plus and you have trainer Linda Rice and jockey Jose Ortiz in his corner.
2nd pick: #1 (Ridolfo) (4-1) - He's one of two older runners entered and he's finished second in three of his last five starts. 4yo by 'Frost Giant' has done so in two straight here at this level against fellow state breds, with both at a mile or longer. In the mix.
3rd pick: #4 (Bad Sueno) (3-1) - A home bred by 'Bodemeister', he's switching from grass to dirt and drops to a new low. 3yo ran evenly here going 8.5 furlongs on the turf for a $40K tag June 2 and he brushed the gate at the break that afternoon. Blinkers go on and he should show whatever he has in this spot.
