Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SCATSUKU) (2-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has raced extremely wide in all three starts facing much tougher. He's dropping into a claimer for the first time, has the best figures, and meets a weak field for the level. Three-year-old by 'Scat Daddy' gets top billing.

2nd pick: #5 (This Cat Can Fly) (5-1) - Improving gelding shortens up a furlong after tiring late to finish fourth here at this level going a mile June 1. He's worked four times since and enters off a very sharp half-mile on the Saratoga training track July 7. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Entry of #1-Pepino Grande & 1a-Leading Storm) (6-1) - From the barn of Rudy Rodriguez, this colt raced evenly here at this level going 6 furlongs July 7. Three-year-old had a lot of trouble at the break and can factor at a square price. 'Leading Storm' has been competitive in three straight on the dirt and is racing on the grass for the first time. He can get a share but needs to improve for anything more than a minor award.
