Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PEE WEE REESE) (7-2) - The probable favorite, he's stretching out a furlong after missing by a 'head' going 5.5 furlongs at this level July 10 at Santa Anita. Only his second start, it was his first since debuting last December, and he's worked fast since.

2nd pick: #12 (Never Say Try) (5-1) - Debuting gelding has a sharp workout line on view and is from the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Jerry Hollendorfer. He wins at a 25% rate first out, and this home bred draws a nice outside post. Can factor if ready.

3rd pick: #10 (Just a Bit Outside) (12-1) - Debuting colt is from the same barn as 'Pee Wee Reese' (Phil D'Amato). Working above average, he draws well, and Flavien Prat aboard.

4th pick: #7 (Elkhorn Crown) (6-1) - He moves up in class following a pair of 2nd place finishes facing weaker. He's racing second back from a six-month layoff and is working above average locally.

5th pick: #8 (First Responder) (9-2) - Away since Jan. 19th of 2015, he's working well, and is racing on conventional dirt for the first time. Can impact if ready.
