Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CAMINO DE ESTRELLA) (5-1) - Promising 3-year-old stretches out in distance after an even and close up finish in a six furlong local sprint at this level July 23. It was his first since Jan 23 and he's just missed in both previous starts at this mile distance.
2nd pick: #1 (Hollywood Strike) (6-1) - Price play raced evenly after 'going to his knees' at the start here at this level and distance Aug. 2. Competitive in four of five before that miscue and he's racing second back from a 70 day freshening.
3rd pick: #7 (Borg) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and expensive ($290,000), he's moving back to the dirt following an even effort on the local grass July 22. He earned a figure two back that outs him squarely in this at a nice price if repeatable.
4th pick: #8 (Thorpe d'Oro) (9-2) - Colt tired here as the heavy favorite in a very poor effort Aug. 2. He had finished second in his first pair and will drop some weight while adding blinkers.
