Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MYTHAJACUL) (2-1) - A very lightly raced 5yo, he ships from Louisiana Downs where he had no chance after being bumped hard at the break when facing $20K maiden claimers while going six furlongs June 16. It was his first start in 13 months, he's brought back quickly for this, takes a big drop, and trainer Bob Diodoro is adding blinkers, a 32% winning move (16 of 38) since Jan. 1 of 2019.

2nd pick: #2 (Flashlightsecurity) (7-2) - This 3yo set a pressured pace before tiring to miss by just under a length here at this distance while facing weaker Jan. 20. It earned him a career-best figure, and he should hold down a share with a repeat of that effort.

3rd pick: #1 (Lightning Lee) (4-1) - On the sidelines since Dec. 19, he tired that day going two-turns at the Fair Grounds when facing tougher. He drops to a new low, has the rail, and is in the mix if ready.
