Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (COMBAT ZONE) (7-2) - Lightly raced colt rallied to finish 2nd at this level going a mile at Santa Anita June 17. In his follow up here July 22, he was away poorly while putting in a late run to check in 4th. He's worked five times since and should love this longer (9 furlong trip).
2nd pick: #12 (Ice Kat) (9-2) - Gelding hasn't raced since finishing 4th, beaten 1.5 lengths racing at this level and distance Jan 1 at Santa Anita. Working steadily, he's a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #7 (Taniko) (6-1) - One of a pair from leading trainer Phil D'Amato, NEW gelding is racing for the first time since Jan 15 and for the first time on the grass. Working above average and longshot is a factor if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Amazon Cry) (8-1) - The 2nd of the D'Amato pair, no speed type moves back up in class after a pair of close up finishes facing claimers. The distance isn't a problem and he could impact with a bit of improvement.
