Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TRIPLE CLOWN) (5-2) - NEW gelding has been on the sidelines since Jan 9. He's shown sharp early speed before weakening in all three career starts facing much tougher. Trainer Pete Miller drops him way down in class and has noted front end specialist Marty Pedroza aboard in this abbreviated sprint (five furlongs). Can win this in wire-to-wire fashion with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #2 (Soap Box) (3-1) - Speed/stalker has been sharp in three straight racing at or near this claiming price. In career best shape, he missed by a 1/2 length at this tag & trip July 3 at Santa Anita. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Jimmy the Juice) (6-1) - He's racing first off a Van Belvoir claim and is shortening up in distance. Grey colt is well bred and may grab a share at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Squash) (12-1) - Longshot made a menacing move turning for home here July 21 but leveled off in the final furlong. A career best, it was his first ever in a claimer. Lightly-raced Reddam home bred must be left in the mix at a big price.
