Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BLAZE OF GLORY) (7-2) - Nicely bred 3-year-old stretches out an 1/8th of a mile after missing by a length here at this $20K tag going 6 furlongs Aug. 2. Son of 'Street Sense' is brought back in 6 days, draws a good post, and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #10 (Awesome E K ) (9-2) - Grey gelding has been freshened up since the winter/spring at Santa Anita where he was competitive in four straight at this $20,000 claiming price. Speed/stalker draws a good outside post and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Jonas) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old is dropping to a new low while cutting back in distance. The gelding has some early speed, is from the bar of leading trainer Peter Miller, and he has him spotted where he should be competitive.

4th pick: #4 (Welldidyougetit) (5-1) - Well backed here when dropped in price July 19, he set/pressed the pace and held gamely to check in third. He's worked since and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
