Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (JUMP THE TRACKS) (5-2) - Stalker drops to a new low following a second-place finish at this distance facing tougher at Los Alamitos July 7. It earned him a career figure and 3yo can break his maiden with a repeat of it.

2nd pick: #7 (Channel Crossing) (3-1) - Colt set a solid pace and held gamely under pressure to finish second here at this tag and trip July 27. It was a solid effort, his first ever in a claimer, and his best overall since coming off a 6-month layoff May 20. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #1 (Vegas Itch) (5-1) - He enters off an even effort here July 27 that saw him finish only 2.5 lengths behind 'Channel Crossing'. Competitive in all six starts since dropping down to this $20K claiming price, he has a ground-saving post and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Thefourfortyfourth) (10-1) - Longshot has some early speed and is stretching out around two turns for the first time. Home bred may hold down a share at a big price in this spot.
