Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ATOMIC RULE) (5-2) - One of several hard hitting veterans entered, this 7yo is racing first off a Doug O'Neill claim (20%) and has been freshened up for the past 2.5 months. Competitive many times facing tougher than these, his stalking ability fits the contest. Cal bred can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #5 (Roaring Rule) (6-1) - Speedy colt is racing on the grass for only the second time. He enters off a win on the dirt at Los Alamitos at this distance July 7, and his early speed makes him a serious threat if he handles the infield.
3rd pick: #2 (Buymeabond) (3-1) - Strong finisher drops down a bit after rallying to finish 3rd here for a $32,000 claiming price July 20. He should be finishing fast following a ground saving trip.
4th pick: #7 (Banze No Oeste) (7-2) - Brazilian import is stretching out in distance following a series of six straight at or near this claiming price going 6.5 furlongs while on the Santa Anita grass. He's won at this trip in the past and must be left in the mix.
