Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PLATINUM EQUITY) (7-2) - The gelding is dropping to a new low, switches from turf to dirt, and is stretching out from 7 furlongs to a mile. Speed/stalker has been competitive in the past facing tougher and gets top billing.

2nd pick: #2 (Buckstopper Kit) (2-1) - He raced evenly here going longer facing tougher July 19. It was his first since March 30 and had the look of nothing more than a condition run. Down to a new low while shortening up to a mile, he's a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #7 (So Long Sailor) (3-1) - He raced evenly here when finishing 5th of 9, beaten 5 1/2 lengths at this distance July 18 for a $40K tag. Leading trainer Peter Miller drops him down a bit and $210,000 purchase is a threat with his best.
