Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (WICKSTERS DREAM) (5-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, he's won two in a row, the latest an easy win here July 22 at this distance for a $440K tag. It was his first start since breaking his maiden Sept. 29 at Gulfstream Park, and he runs today off a Jeremiah Englehart claim. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Mission Wrapitup) (3-1) - This grey gelding drops in class and is moving in with 'open' company after tiring to finish 4th here July 17 facing state-bred allowance foes. He's from the barn of Chad Brown and is racing in a straight claimer for the first time.

3rd pick: #7 (Scoring) (4-1) - Speedy sort ships from Indiana where he tired after rushing up following a troubled break Aug. 3. Very sharp in four straight prior to that, he's in the win mix.
