Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SIR EDDIE) (8-5) - Freshened up since June 16, he's finished 2nd in three straight going 6.5 furlongs at Santa Anita. Stalker has lost by a 1/2 length in all of those and is adding blinkers today while cutting back in distance. He gets a slim edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Eskimo Roses) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's working fast for his first since April 7. This 3yo has four straight bullet drills on view and is a serious threat to win this in gate-to-wire fashion.

3rd pick: #1 (Rumpus Cat) (4-1) - Home bred has finished within range in three straight on the grass at this level. Working fast, he has the rail, and must be left in the win mix.

4th pick: #5 (Bahanian) (12-1) - Disappointing colt is racing on the grass for the first time. Blinkers go on following a very poor effort at Los Al June 30, and this $160K purchase needs to turn it around today.
