Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ELITE MOTION) (8-5) - A lightly raced 4yo, he fished second at this level and distance at Santa Anita June 9. Strong finisher should like the long stretch here (No. America's biggest) and he looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Fortnite Dance) (2-1) - Grey gelding drops back down after tiring going a mile on the Santa Anita grass for a $50K tag June 16. He just missed there in a dirt sprint at this level April 7 and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Benny the Jet) (5-1) - This $225K gelding by 'Bernardini' chased a runaway winner here a week ago before giving out in the final furlong. It was a career best and he faces no such rival in this small field. 3yo should be in this from gate-to-wire.
