Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (WHERE'S WILLY) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he ships from Saratoga where he raced evenly for a $20K tag July 25. That field was much tougher than this and he was only beaten 4.5 lengths. In a winning barn (Mike Pino) and this 3-year-old by 'Midnight Lute' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (J R Jellybean) (7-2) - Rare Arizona bred enters of a sharp effort here July 30. Racing in his local debut for a $10K tag, he rallied strongly to miss by a 'nose.' It was his first start in four months and he's brought back in 10 days for this attempt. A strong factor.
3rd pick: #5 (Strong Dude) (15-1) - Longshot is dropping down in class and is shortening up in distance. His form has gone sour of late and at this point a small slice at a big price is his ceiling.
4th pick: #10 (Thunder Alex) (5-1) - He's racing third back off 1.5 month break, is moving from turf to dirt, and is cutting back in distance. No-speed type may pass enough to get a share at long odds.
