Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (LEAP TO GLORY) (2-1) - Stalker is racing 2nd back from a six month layoff, is dropping into a claimer for the first time, and has Lasix added. He chased and tired in his return facing tougher at this distance June 20 and enters off a sharp work July 4. All things look in place.

2nd pick: #3 (Our American Star) (5-2) - He's had a lot of chances (20) but has been competitive in three straight and six of his last eight overall. Four-year-old lost by only a 'neck' at this trip June 17 and the effort earned him a career best figure. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #5 (Shuffling Madness) (4-1) - Colt rallied to finish second when debuting here at this tag going 7 furlongs May 27. However, in his follow up facing tougher going a mile June 13, he tired badly after breaking from a tough inside post. He's worked twice since, drops back down, shortens up, and Irad Ortiz Jr is aboard for the first time.
