Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ROLL TIDE ROLL) (3-1) - Speed/stalker is racing first off a Jay Servis claim and a subsequent eight week break. New trainer is having a career year at 49 of 178 (28%), and he's winning at a 38% rate first off the claim over the past 19.5 months. This well bred colt draws outside of the other pace players and ran second here a year ago facing tougher.
2nd pick: #2 (Chipit) (2-1) - One-run type ships up from Monmouth where he's picked up minor awards without threatening in a pair of starts facing just a bit tougher. In the Pletcher barn, he drops this $300,000 4-year-old son of 'Tapit' into a straight claimer for the first time. Trainer has his long time go-to rider (John Velazquez) aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Match Up) (9-2) - Veteran ships in from Churchill Downs where he was an easy wire-to-wire winner at this tag and trip June 17. It was a career best overall as he cleared the 2l condition. Speed/stalker has the rail which is often the place to be here on the main track early in the meet.
