Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ORACLE OF OMAHA) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Peter Miller, he's shortening up in distance when following a pair of sharp efforts going a mile. He has the rail, blinkers on, and Drayden Van Dyke is replacing apprentice Figieroa.

2nd pick: #4 (Hartel) (7-2) - The second of the pair from the barn of Peter Miller, he's a NEW gelding, is switching from dirt to turf, and runs without blinkers. $210,000 purchase has shown good early speed in a pair of main track sprints and enters off a sharp half-mile drill here Aug. 2. It's noted that leading jockey Flavien Prat is aboard for the first time.

3rd pick: #7 (Truck Salesman) (3-1) - He's switching from dirt to grass for his second attempt. He tired late after setting a pressured pace when debuting here on the dirt at this distance July 21. He must be left in the win mix.
