Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LEAD BY EXAMPLE) (7-2) - Well bred 4yo is racing second back from a 6.5-month layoff and does so with blinkers on. Even paced type has worked well since a good return to action June 16 and is set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #4 (Vino Blanco) (5-1) - On the sidelines since Nov. 5th, he returns a NEW gelding, and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #5 (There Goes Ben) (4-1) - No speed type has finished close up in two straight at this level, and last out earned a career best 'figure.' Win candidate with Irad Ortiz, Jr. back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #9 (Kangaroo Style) (6-1) - He had a very troubled start here June 16 and was beaten less than five lengths while racing 7-8 wide turning for home. Capable of impacting with an alert getaway.
5th pick: #11 (Long Island Express) (30-1) - Huge longshot tired badly July 2 after rushing up following a 'troubled' beginning. He has early speed and may grab a share at a big price with an alert beginning.
