Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TO THE VICTOR) (4-1) - Well bred colt has been on the sidelines for the past two months. When last in action he was a sharp winner at Gulfstream Park going six furlongs at this tag March 23. He cleared the 2l condition that afternoon and draws a good outside post for this distance. Four-year-old has been competitive here in the past without winning facing tougher. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Starbound) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he's coupled in the wagering wit # 1a 'CUADRANTE.' This gelding was an easy winner here at this tag going six furlongs June 4 as he cleared the 2l condition. Stalker is back in top form after a Patty Farro claim and a subsequent 3.5 month layoff. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Alex the Dude) (9-2) - Lightly-raced colt ships from Pimlico and is making his first start for trainer Jorge Navarro (a 26% winning angle). Three-year-old is switching from turf to the main track and both his previous wins have been on the dirt. A quick recent work at Monmouth is noted.
4th pick: #5 (Americas Guest) (10-1) - He's racing first off a Mario Serey Jr, claim (17%). Trainer has been on a strong run here the past several weeks and this stretch runner should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
