Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SUMMER REVOLUTION) (3-1) - Colt was a very impressive maiden winner when debuting at this seven furlong trip July 4 at Belmont Park. Breaking from the rail, he stayed close up, then drew off quickly when jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. let him lose at the 1/4 pole. Son of 'Summer Bird' would win by just over seven lengths in fast time. Given five weeks off, he worked a sharp five furlongs here July 30.

2nd pick: #4 (Sir Alfred) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly-raced 4-year-old finished a distant second when going six furlongs at Monmouth Park June 26 in his second start back off a 12.5 month layoff. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Juan and Bina) (8-1) - Longshot has been in search of his second win for a long time, but continues to grab minor awards at this level. One-run type is working fast, has blinkers added, draws a good outside post, and has Javier Castellano back on the re-ride.

4th pick: #5 (Goats Town) (15-1) - He's facing winners for the first time after breaking his maiden at this distance June 23 at Churchill Downs. Stretch runner is working above average locally and can grab a share at a potentially big price.
