Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BRUNATE) (5-2) - He's been competitive in three straight at this level and enters off a 2nd place finish going 6.5 furlongs Aug. 9. This 3yo has a stalking style, positive experience at this seven furlong trip, and he gets top billing.
2nd pick: #2 (Royal Suspect) (7-2) - He's racing 3rd back off around a 100 day break after relocating from the Southern California circuit. This 3yo missed by 4.5 lengths here facing tougher July 30 and did so following a troubled break. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Ringood) (4-1) - Even-paced in most all his races, he's dropping in class, switching from grass to dirt, and is cutting back in distance in his 2nd back after spending eight months on the sidelines. He must be left in the mix.
