Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AWESOME TYPE) (7-5) - Very fast from the gate, he finished second here facing slightly weaker July 3. It was his best effort since coming off a 3.5 month layoff May 29 and he should beat this group on the lead.
2nd pick: #2 (Bird Quest) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old finished fourth here July 3 in the same last race as 'Awesome Type'. Only 2.5 lengths in back of that rival, he races today with blinkers on.
3rd pick: #6 (Little Bit Irish) (9-2) - Kentucky shipper broke his maiden for a 10K tag May 11 at Churchill Downs. In his follow up there June 8 he raced evenly for a $14K tag at this 2l condition. Five-year-old can factor if he brings his form with him.
4th pick: #7 (Prince of Kentucky) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced, he hasn't been in action for 11 months. His trainer (Tony Pecoraro) is having a great meet 10 for 32 (31%) and this colt could grab a share if ready.
