Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (CAPTIVATE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced speed/stalker earned a big figure when breaking his maiden at this distance June 15 at Santa Anita. Freshened up since he's nicely spotted by trainer Mike Puype as he takes on winners for the first time.
2nd pick: #9 (Honeymoonz Over) (9-2) - Consistent sort draws well for his stalking style and has been competitive in all four starts at this level since breaking his maiden Feb. 10. In shape, working fine locally, and a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Invasion Looming) (10-1) - Longshot moves back to the dirt after breaking his maiden going 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita turf June 17. Competitive on the dirt many times in the past, he's working fast at Los Alamitos and runs first off a re-claim by veteran Charlie Treece.
4th pick: #2 (Perfect Wager) (8-1) - He rallied while widest to break his maiden at Santa Anita June 16. Clearly improving, he's lightly-raced and has plenty of room for upside. Stretch threat at a big price.
