Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (RUN AWAY FLASH) (5-2) - He missed by a 1/2-length here at this level and distance July 29 after an easy maiden sprinting July 16. A homebred 4yo, he'll be very tough with a repeat of his latest figure earned.
2nd pick: #2 (Gone Crusin) (5-1) - He's gone 3-1-2-0 at this meet, and this 3yo stalker was a sharp maiden winner at this trip July 30. From a very good barn (Francisco Bravo), he has the rail and is a win candidate with a bit more improvement.
3rd pick: #7 (Purple Monster) (3-1) - Competitive in two of three local sprints at this level, trainer Tim Padilla is stretching him out in distance for this attempt. The figures earned in that pair of solid efforts make him a strong factor if he handles the additional yardage.
4th pick: #4 (Blame Bishop) (12-1) - This longshot switched back to the dirt and is another stretching out today. He finished an even and non-threatening 4th when sprinting on the grass July 23, and he may get a minor award today at a big price.
