Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (VERYNSKY) (2-1) - He's the main speed and is dropping down from a close up finish for a $20,000 tag at Del Mar Aug. 22 to run for a $12.5 claiming price in this attempt. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Al About Trump) (7-2) - He proved no match for 'Verynsky' July 18 at Del Mar and will need to step it up to reverse that decision. Stretch runner should like the extremely long stretch here, and he should be making up ground late.
3rd pick: #1 (San Giorgio) (5-2) - A lightly raced colt by 'Girolamo,' 3yo broke his maiden here at this trip for a $20K tag July 7, then tired facing winners for a $14K tag Aug. 3 at Del Mar. Stalker has a ground saving post and must be left in the mix.
