Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PEACOCK KITTEN) (3-1) - Lightly raced 5yo moves up in class after finishing 2nd here at this trip facing $20K claimers July 1. Competitive in five straight, the stalker breaks just off the rail and gets a slight edge with leading rider Tim Thornton staying aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Victor Lounge) (2-1) - Irish import rallied to check in a non-threatening 3rd at this level and distance July 1 when racing at Louisiana Downs. Veteran is an obvious contender in what will be his local debut.
3rd pick: #6 (Rosslare Harbor) (9-2) - A winner of two straight here going a mile facing weaker, he's clearly improved since coming off a three-month freshening June 19. 3yo has good early speed and is dangerous today despite moving up in class.
4th pick: #7 (Royal Rocket) (12-1) - No speed type is stringing starts together following several layoffs and is capable of getting a share if the pace is fast and/or contested.
