Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TWISTED ROAD) (3-1) - Colt finished 2nd at this tag and trip July 13 at Los Alamitos in his first since March 25, and first for a tag. Claimed that afternoon by Doug O'Neill, he brings him back on a one week turnaround. New trainer wins at a 27% rate first off the claim, and he has this 4yo dropping seven pounds with apprentice Figueroa aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Blaze of Glory) (7-2) - Colt tired after setting a quick and pressured pace at this level going seven furlongs June 9 at Santa Anita. It was his first in two months and first ever in for a tag. Claimed that afternoon by owner/trainer Dave Jacobson (a 16% winning angle), he shortens him up in distance, and 3yo by 'Street Sense' is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Iron Curtain) (10-1) - Speed/stalker is racing third back following an 18-month layoff and is dropping down to a new low. State bred has been competitive in five of his six starts and must be left in the mix.
