Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (CANDY CORNELL) (5-1) - He's been freshened up since four solid efforts at Oaklawn Park during the Winter/Spring. The steady performer has a speed/stalking style, a fine post for it, and I give him a slight edge in a contest where you should box your wagers.
2nd pick: #9 (Rubus) (20-1) - This longshot tired at Churchill at this level June 21 in his first race in seven months. The veteran gelding has been sharp in both local attempts and is in the mix at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Complexifier) (9-2) - The field's only 3yo, he brings plenty of early speed to the contest and is working fast for his first since Nov. 30. Colt breaks just off the rail and is dangerous if ready off the 7.5-month layoff.
4th pick: #1 (Traveling Midas) (6-1) - His stalking style and inside post make this well-bred 5yo a contender in his second back following a 2.5-month break.
