Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TIZ A GENTLEMAN) (4-1) - Heavily backed when debuting Sept. 11 at Louisiana Downs for a $20K tag, he rallied to finish second and was claimed by Ed Johnston . Unraced since, he has a fine series of works on view and can win this if read.
2nd pick: #4 (Tensas Toddy) (6-1) - Price play set a pressured pace before weakening to finish third here at this level and distance May 30. A career best, it was his first since Feb. 16 and he should be fitter for this attempt.
3rd pick: #5 (Classic Heath) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's finished second in three straight and last out missed by a 'head' going 5.5 furlongs June 1. An obvious win candidate.
4th pick: #1 (Grand Little Man) (3-1) - He moves back in with fellow state bred after finishing 2nd facing $20K 'open' claimers June 15. One-run type has a ground saving post and is a late threat.
