Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (WATERED DOWN) (2-1) - Gelding shifts over from Santa Anita where he's finished third in two straight. Stalker draws a nice outside post at this trip that will give veteran Stu Elliott some early options. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Trickonomics) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, speedy 3-year-old ships from Golden Gate Fields where he finished a pace-setting second at this level going 5.5 furlongs on the Tapeta surface there June 4. Working well above average since then, he's racing on conventional dirt for the first time.
3rd pick: #4 (Hardcore Troubador) (7-2) - One of three making their debuts, he has a steady and solid work tab visible from San Luis Rey Downs. It's of note that Norberto Arroyo Jr. is 1-for-1 at the meet and is aboard.
