Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BOOTSIE'S GALAXY) (9-2) - A very lightly raced home bred, he was an easy winner here when debuting at 5.5 furlongs May 17, then raced evenly without threatening in his follow up June 15. I like his outside post and also the fact that Tim Thornton stays aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Destiny Awaits) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's cuting back in distance following three straight second place finishes at this level going a mile. A 4yo by 'Curlin', he has the best overall figures and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Ice City Ghost) (5-2) - The fields only stakes winner, he's been on the sidelines since Oct. 7. Working fast locally for his return, home bred is dangerous if ready.
