Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (R CHA CHA) (2-1) - Speed/stalker moves from turf to dirt after a close up third place finish sprinting on the Santa Anita grass June 10. He's been sharp on the dirt in the past, has positive local experience, and draws a ground saving post.
2nd pick: #5 (Rhettbutler) (7-2) - Grey gelding finished second at this tag June 17 at Santa Anita. One-run type should like the long stretch here and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (Midnight Soot) (3-1) - Freshened up for almost two months, he broke his maiden last out going 8.5 furlongs at Santa Anita for a $30K tag May 13. Claimed that day by Jack Carava (18% winning angle), he has him working steadily and is shortening him up in distance.
4th pick: #6 (Candyman Garret) (5-1) - Away since Aug. 16, he broke his maiden that day at Del Mar for a $62,500 tag. Claimed by Mike Pender he brings him back running for $25,000. A major factor if ready.
