Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (COMMANDER SCOTT) (5-2) - A lightly raced homebred, he was a sharp maiden winner here by almost four lengths on June 11 when going six furlongs in his first since finishing 3rd when debuting March 5 at Delta Downs. I think he can win right back with Tim Thornton staying aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (Papa Bro) (6-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, he tired here at this level June 5. 3yo was very nervous before the break and is dangerous at a square price if he's more calmed down before entering the gate.

3rd pick: #4 (Reach the Circle) (5-1) - He finished a distant 3rd at this level last out and moves from a tough outside post to a better slot for his stalking style. 3yo is capable of impacting in this spot.

4th pick: #7 (Slither) (4-1) - A homebred by the speed 'Custom for Carlos,' he rallied to finish a distant 2nd here sprinting at this level June 6. It was his best since early Nov., and he must be left in the mix today.
