Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GOODWILLAMBASSADOR) (6-1) - He finished second last out to today's rival 'Risky Proposition' but had to be hard sent from an inside post sprinting on the grass. Colt broke his maiden at this distance on the dirt at Santa Anita April 26 and enters today off of some sharp recent works.
2nd pick: #6 (Italiano) (4-1) - Lightly-raced colt tired facing tougher going 6 furlongs June 23 at Santa Anita. It was his first race since Nov 11 and will drop in class while adding blinkers. Look for a competitive effort in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Risky Proposition) (3-1) - Competitive in four of five overall, he's switching from grass to dirt for this assignment. Speed/stalker is in shape, has the rail, and he broke his maiden at this distance on the dirt Jan 15.
4th pick: #3 (Stop the Violence) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced is facing winners after a sharp gate-to-wire maiden score June 30 at Los Alamitos. In a good barn (Peter Miller) the guess here is that he'll be sent hard and try and win this on the front end. Gelding must be left in the mix.
