Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MONTERREY SHALE) (3-1) - Harris Farm's home bred has been freshened up since June 16. He finished second that day at Santa Anita racing at this level and distance. Only his third career start, it was his first ever on the grass. Working fast for this and Raf Bejarano is back on the re-ride.
2nd pick: #2 (Burnie's On Board) (5-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, he set a pressured pace and held gamely to finish third here at this level and distance July 22. By far a career best, he's worked twice since and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #1 (He Could) (7-2) - Blinkers go on 5-year-old who has yet to finish worse than fourth in seven career starts - all on the grass. He has a flexible style, draws a ground saving post, and is a threat.
4th pick: #5 (Big Hearted) (20-1) - Longshot has early speed and held his position until mid-stretch July 22 when he checked in 5.5 lengths behind 'Burnie's On Board.' He's worked three times since and may grab a share at a big price.
