Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (COACHES CHALLENGE) (9-2) - Well bred gelding makes his Philly Park debut while racing third back off a seven week break. He finished a wide and even fourth last out at Monmouth and it was an improvement over his previous attempt. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #10 (Jacapo) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's one of two entered by trainer Patty Farro and the pair race uncoupled. Colt ships back from Monmouth where he tired after setting a pressured pace facing tougher. Win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Better Shine) (7-2) - He's another with early speed and 5-year-old is from the barn of Mark Zulueta who is 34 of 131 (26%} at this meet. Gelding is cutting back in distance following a pair of two-turn contests and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Gambler's Roll) (8-1) - He finished second here in his local debut May 21 in his first after arriving from California. However, in his follow up start June 12 he tired badly as the heavy favorite. He needs to turn it around in this spot.
