Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (METAL MAGIC) (3-1) - Consistent sort ships down from Philadelphia Park for his local debut. He rallied to win there at this claiming price June 20 in his first off a Mike Pino claim. Grey colt gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #11 (My Charming Clyde) (5-1) - Old timer is making his 94th career start. He's finished first in 19 of those and has a fine local record 25-5-8-6. Ten-year-old can factor with his normal late run.
3rd pick: #2 (Ruby's Love) (7-2) - Speedy sort is listed as the morning line favorite. He's been competitive in all five starts since dropping down to this $5,000 claiming price and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #9 (Breezed Bayou) (5-1) - He was a winner here at this $5K tag June 21 as he cleared the 3l condition. Stalker followed that up July 5 with an even third place finish at this level. Must be left in the mix.
