Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (OREJAS) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding just missed here at this tag and trip July 20. It was his first start since Jan. 13 and only his third overall. Stretched out to seven furlongs Aug. 6, he set/pressed a quick pace before tiring late to finish 3rd to a pair of big drop-downs. In shape and he'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Clifton Beach) (5-1) - Four-year-old has finished second in two of his last three at this $20K tag and he stumbled at the break in lone sub par outing. Speed/stalker can be in this from start-to-finish at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Rafter One) (9-2) - Speedy sort is dropping in price while shortening up from a mile to 5.5 furlongs. Competitive several times sprinting against tougher, he breaks just off the rail and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Easy Game) (6-1) - Lightly-raced home bred has early speed Calif. bred is dropping into a claimer for the first time. The figure he earned last out makes him a serious player with just a bit of a move forward.
