Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FRANKIE MACHINE) (8-1) - This longshot stretches out in distance following a pair of back-to-back competitive sprints at this level July 6 and 12 at Los Alamitos. Stalker broke his maiden at this mile distance back in June of 2018 at Santa Anita and has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Scrappy Deville) (5-1) - A lightly raced 3yo, he was a maiden winner by 2.5 lengths at this distance for a $20K tag June 29 at Los Alamitos. It came following a two-month freshening and did so from the inside post, which he has again today. Gelding is dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Vintage Hollywood) (7-2) - A well bred 4yo, he improved his position late sprinting here for a $25K price tag Aug. 9. It was his first start in three months, and he's dropping down and stretching out on a quick turnaround. In the mix.
