Owned by Maria Carlos and trained by Jose Antonio Flores, the 6-year-old Dashing Val gelding was 14-1 when he surprised Go Green Go for his second win of the year on June 22.
Alex Bautista will again be aboard Valberry Pie, who will break from post six in the field of seven.
The picks: 1. Got No Whoa. 2. Forever Jan. 3. Cathedral. 4. Streakn Cheyenne. 5. Marmeta. 6. Jake Blues. 7. Valberry Pie. 8. Itsnosecretanymore.
Four! Use Lodi Lou, Marmeta and Slated in the fifth, Jake Blues and North County in the sixth, Valberry Pie and Mutts Dandy Effort in the seventh and Loves To Dash, Itsnosecretanymore and Indigodash in the eighth.
Shots in the dark: A Dasha Red adds Lasix in the third for trainer Blane Schvaneveldt. Say Hey Cowboy is a shipper in the fourth who has won two in a row at 870 yards.
