Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HANDSOME JOHN) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he rallied while wide to finish second here at this level going 5.5 furlongs July 26. It was his first in a claimer, a big improvement off his June 15 debut, and the additional 1/6th of a mile for this attempt is in his favor.

2nd pick: #7 (Silent Alarm) (9-2) - He tired after chasing the pace while between horses July 26. Tommy Town runner finished third but was almost 4 lengths in back of 'Handsome John' that afternoon. He drops 7 lbs with apprentice Figueroa aboard and is dangerous.

3rd pick: #10 (Hey Sal) (8-1) - Away slowly when debuting going 5 furlongs facing tougher July 20, he drops in class, moves off the rail, and has blinkers on. Longshot can be competitive at a big price with an alert beginning.

4th pick: #3 (Lucky General) (8-1) - He showed some improvement last out despite a very wide trip here July 20. Home bred has a better post and may get a share at a big price.
