Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (NEW YORK'S ZIP) (8-1) - Longshot is dropping to a new low in claiming price and is racing with blinkers on. Three-year-old by 'City Zip' draws a nice outside post and his speed/stalking style fits against this weak field. Gelding has a solid shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #8 (Mr Curiosity) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's racing second back off a seven month layoff. He set the pace and held to finish second here at this level going seven furlongs on the main track June 15. A career best, it came off a private trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez. A strong win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (Here Comes R J ) (3-1) - Stretch runner goes first off a Michelle Nevin claim (22%) and a subsequent eight week freshening. He's finished second in two straight at this level on the local dirt and is a win threat today.

4th pick: #1 (Peculiar Sensation) (7-2) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in his first pair and was just under a length behind 'Mr Curiosity' last out. He should be involved from start to finish in today's finale.
