Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SUMMER FIRE) (7-2) - A NEW gelding, he switches back to the dirt following a near-miss in a turf sprint on June 14 at Santa Anita. He races first off a claim by leading trainer Peter Miller, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #3 (Brickyard Ride) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's won two in a row. A Lightly raced 3yo he did so in gate-to-wire fashion in each. Working fast locally, he's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Cali Dude) (4-1) - Unraced since Nov. 1, he finished 2nd in a stakes for 2yo state-breds that afternoon. A winner in his debut a month earlier, he's working steadily for this and can impact if ready.
