Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (McMULLEN COUNTY) (7-2) - Churchill Downs invader is racing first off a Brad Cox claim. That's a solid 21% winning angle, and this gelding should love this nine-furlong distance. He has no early speed, but has some back class and 'off' track experience.
2nd pick: #6 (Domestic Warrior) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's a 'long winded' type and should love this two-turn, nine-furlong trip. In shape and a very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Salem Loop) (5-1) - He has a bit more speed than most, is dropping back down in class, stretching out in distance, and switches from turf to dirt. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Luckybuck Syndrome) (8-1) - Lightly raced and he has the most early speed of this group. He's racing second back from a five-month layoff and worked fast here July 26. If left alone in the first half-mile, he may go 'all the way' at a big price.
